This exciting Olympic Games - Women match between Mozambique (Wom) and DR Congo (Wom) on July 9, 2023, was a display of effective offensive strategies from the DR Congo's side, beating Mozambique with a definitive result of 3-1.

The high amount of shots, both on and off target, attempts by both teams, with Congo clocking 8 and 9 respectively versus Mozambique's 6 and 7, resulted in high-pressure game play. Although Mozambique was more aggressive with 12 fouls compared to Congo's 5, they were less disciplined in positioning with 9 offsides, more than that by DR Congo. This could reflect in the fact that their attack was less coordinated and precise than Congo’s.

Goalkeeper performance was another defining factor in the match outcome. DR Congo's goalkeeper made a noteworthy contribution to their victory, with 6 saves compared to 3 from Mozambique's end showing a strong defense line.

The increased number of corner kicks, 7 from DR Congo versus Mozambique's 5, further demonstrates Congo's strategic offensive play and efficient use of the entire field, resulting in a greater goal opportunity - which they capitalized on to ensure the win.

The DR Congo not only had more successful execution of their attacks, but also reflected better teamwork with the same number of assists as their goals, a clear indicator of an effective and coordinated team effort. In contrast, Mozambique's sole goal was also a result of a singular assist.

In terms of regulations, the match was clean, as no red or yellow cards were issued and Congo used more substitutions, 3 as compared to Mozambique's 2, indicating active management of their player's fatigue level to preserve their leading status.

Reflecting on the data shows that despite an aggressive game plan, Mozambique's performance was not as effective primarily due to poor discipline in offsides and weak goalie defense. DR Congo took full advantage of their opportunities while demonstrating more disciplined and strategic gameplay, and team cohesion, allowing them to walk away with the victory.
