In this U23 Liga Revelacao match, Rio Ave U23 struggled against FC Vizela U23, falling short with a 1-2 loss at home. This match witnessed a significant incline in aggressive play, as evidenced by the unusual number of yellow cards, with a total of 12 cards being issued throughout the game - 5 for the home team and 7 for the visitors.

Rio Ave U23 kicked off with a strong start, clinching the first goal of the match within the first 23 minutes of the first half, putting them in the lead for a short period. However, they couldn't maintain their lead for long as FC Vizela U23 equalized the match with a well-executed goal at the 38 minutes' mark. This puts them back on even ground and adding a disruptive momentum for the home team.

The home team's offense struggled to place shots on target, as indicated by just one corner kick against Vizela's six. This difference in offensive output could have been a deciding factor in maintaining their lead. Also, both teams challenged the line by being called offside once, hinting towards aggressive forward play by both sides.

The second half of the match showcased a great deal of hard-fought, albeit rough tactics, as a flurry of yellow cards were issued. Vizela was subject to most of the referee's book, capturing a notable 7 out of the 12 yellow cards for various aggressive challenges. Yet, it was during this phase that Vizela managed to take the lead, scoring their decisive second goal in the 96th minute. Rio Ave U23, on the other hand, although being down on the scoreline, continued to play aggressively, evident from their five yellow cards.

In conclusion, FC Vizela U23 performed commendably despite the significant number of yellow cards they accrued. Their offensive prowess is evident from multiple corner kicks and successful goals, which basically won them the game. Rio Ave U23 couldn't cope with this pressure from Vizela, and their lack of shots on target, as manifested by a single corner kick, seemed to be a significant contributor to this unsuccessful show.

Their approach was defensive yet unsystematically aggressive, illustrated by a wave of yellow cards in the second half. They will likely look to rectify these areas in their upcoming matches.

The game overall was dominated by interruptions due to disciplinary actions, with the flow of the game broken often, making it a tough match for both teams. The discipline aspect should be something both coaches look into for future games.
