In the La Liga match between Sevilla and UD Almeria that took place on 12 March 2023 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, Sevilla won the game with a score of 2-1 despite UD Almeria's early lead.

UD Almeria came out strong, with Sergio Akieme scoring within the first two minutes of play, assisted by Alejandro Pozo. This early goal showed a strong offensive start from Almeria, but they found it hard to maintain that momentum throughout the game. The team only managed to take five shots on target for the entire duration.

However, Sevilla asserted control in the match despite falling behind early. The home team equalized nearly at the end of the first half, with Lucas Ariel Ocampos converting a penalty in the 48th minute. The game’s decisive moment came in the 73rd minute from Erik Manuel Lamela, with a key assist from Bryan Gil, giving Sevilla the final advantage.

Statistically, even if both teams had equal number of shots on target (5 each), Sevilla was far more aggressive offensively, taking a total of 27 shots of which 22 missed. In comparison, UD Almeria only managed 13 shots, with 8 of them missing the target. Sevilla's aggressive attack paid off with two goals, revealing UD Almeria's defensive vulnerabilities.

Regarding discipline, both teams had an equal number of yellow cards (4 each). However, Sevilla appeared to collect yellow cards in achieving game objectives, with Ocampos and Lamela, the goal scorers, also among the recipients of the cards.

The tactic of successful use of corners and keeping control of the ball with less fouls (8 fouls compared to 11 from Almeria) by Sevilla might have significantly influenced the result, despite 5 instances of offsides. UD Almeria, with 4 corner kicks and only 1 offside, failed to capitalize on these possessions.

The decisive factors in this match can thus be traced to Sevilla's offensive pressure demonstrated by the high number of shots, the aggressive strategy that involved taking risks leading to yellow cards, and the effective use of corner kicks. UD Almeria's early advantage and subsequent lack of goal conversion serves as a reminder that maintaining momentum throughout the game is crucial in football.
