In an intense encounter at the U23 Liga Revelacao on January 17, 2023 at 14:00 EEST between SC Farense U23 and Estrela Amadora U23, it was ultimately the visiting side, Estrela Amadora U23, who got the better off their hosts with a 2-1 victory.

Despite the home team, SC Farense U23, taking an early lead in the first half 14:29 with a quick goal, they couldn't maintain their advantage long. Estrela Amadora U23 responded with grit scoring two quick goals at 19:03 and 29:35 to overturn the deficit and edge ahead 2-1 in the first half itself. The goal timing analysis reveals that the away team’s efficient and quick responses were a key determinant contributing to the final outcome of the match.

The game was a physically competitive encounter with a total of 9 yellow cards being shown. Estrela Amadora U23 were handed a staggering 8 yellow cards, amongst these, three were issued in the first half and five in the second half. SC Farense U23 received just a single yellow card, further showing the intense pressure that the away team exerted throughout the match. The outlier in the game was the higher than normal number of yellow cards, which gives an insight into the aggressive and physical gameplay adopted particularly by Estrela Amadora U23 - this tenacity appears to have been a contributing factor in their win.

Corners were a crucial part of the gameplay with SC Farense U23 earning 6 corners as compared to Estrela Amadora U23’s 4. However, despite the home team winning more corners, they didn't seem to capitalise on these set pieces opportunities to change the score line in their favour. Offsides also played a noteworthy part with the home team being caught offside 2 times and the visitors 3, further suggesting the closely contested nature of the match.

The game took a dramatic turn when both teams suffered red cards, with the home team receiving 1 red card, and the away team, despite being ahead, dealt with 2. This created a challenging game dynamic, but it appears that the away team was effective in managing the situation, and these dismissals did not cost them the match.

In conclusion, despite SC Farense U23's early lead, Estrela Amadora U23’s quick response, aggressive play style, and apparent ability to perform under high pressure; seen in their reaction to accruing multiple yellow and red cards, and having less set-piece opportunities, were decisive factors that saw them walk away victorious in this thrilling encounter.
