In the Copa Sudamericana match between Fortaleza CE and Corinthians SP, held on 04 October 2023 at 00:30 EEST, Fortaleza CE dominated the game in multiple facets and eventually scored a 2-0 victory.

Let's examine some of the critical factors that shaped the outcome of the match.

We start with the goals, Fortaleza CE scored twice in the second half at 00:50:12 and 00:54:31, which were enough to secure a comfortable win. Corinthians SP, on the other hand, was unable to reply with a goal, despite having numerous chances.

Corinthians SP had moments of poor discipline as indicated by their 13 fouls committed which were more than what Fortaleza CE players committed, who managed to keep their violation count to 11. Strangely enough, Corinthians SP walked away from the game with no yellow cards relative to Fortaleza CE, which saw two of their players cautioned at 00:27:27 in the first half and 01:01:33 in the second half, respectively. Despite the cautions, it didn't impact the home team's overall performance.

Offsides were another area where Corinthians SP were let down. Their lack of patience and discipline proved costly as they were called out twice for offside, which denied the away side some goal scoring opportunities. On the other hand, Fortaleza CE maintained good team discipline with no offside calls against them.

Corner kicks, in particular, highlight the offensive dominance of Fortaleza CE. The home team earned a whopping 15 corner kicks, showing their constant threat in the attacking third, compared to Corinthians SP measly 2 corner kicks. The difference in corner kicks is an explicit representation of how controlled the game was by Fortaleza CE and the constant pressure they put on Corinthians SP's defence all through the match.

While the yellow cards received by Fortaleza CE indicate bouts of indiscipline, it did not seem to have a significant impact on their game, considering it did not escalate to a player dismissal or a penalty that could affect the outcome of the game. Also, Corinthians SP's inability to take advantage of set-pieces from their 2 corners and fouls earned them speaks to their underperformance in this match.

In summary, it is evident that Fortaleza CE dominated the match, both offensively and defensively based on the statistics provided. Their goal-scoring efficiency combined with successful defensive tactics effectively won them the game. On the other hand, Corinthians SP would need to work on discipline and offensive effectiveness in their future matches.
