The match between Regatas Flamengo RJ and Club Olimpia Asuncion in the Copa Libertadores on August 04 was a tightly contested one, yet it was Flamengo who came out on top with a definitive 1-0 win.

Interestingly, the match was significantly influenced by both the high number of corner kicks and fouls. Flamengo dominated in the domain of corner kicks with a total of 8 as compared to Olimpia with only 4. This disparity indicates a more aggressive attacking strategy by Flamengo, which ultimately paid off as the only goal of the match arrived during the second half in favor of the home team. The goal came as early as the 48th minute, allowing Flamengo to control the rest of the game from a position of relative comfort.

Regarding fouls, there is a notable difference with the away team Olimpia committing more than double the fouls as compared to Flamengo. The high number of 20 fouls, compared to Flamengo’s 9, disrupted Olimpia's flow and put them on the backfoot, thus impacting their game strategy and overall performance. Olimpia's aggressive behavior, unfortunately, also translated into yellow cards, with the away team collecting a total of 4 for the match compared to Flamengo's 2. These fouls, along with the yellow cards, disrupted Olimpia's rhythm and provided Flamengo with several set-piece opportunities.

In terms of offside, both Flamengo and Olimpia had a low count, with each team incurring only one offside throughout the game. This indicates a cautious approach in terms of offensive runs beyond the defensive line from both sides, which perhaps reveals a strong anti-offensive strategy on both ends.

To conclude, Flamengo's victory was a result of their aggressive attacking, resulting in a higher number of corner kicks and a disciplined performance that led to fewer fouls when compared to Olimpia. Olimpia’s strategy of committing numerous fouls disrupted their flow of the game and reduced their scoring opportunities. They would need to rethink their strategy if they wish to avoid a similar fate in their future matches.
