In an exciting International Friendly fixture, Brazil managed to edge past Mexico in a tightly contested football match ending with a scoreline of 3-2. Despite a significant second half resurgence by Mexico, Brazil's initial lead provided them with enough buffer to ultimately secure a win.

Brazil quickly took the lead in the first half, just over 5 minutes into the game making it 0-1. Brazil chose to continue their aggressive nature into the second half, scoring their second goal 54 minutes in, leading to a 0-2 scoreline. However, the match took a dramatic turn as Mexico, spearheaded by a more attacking philosophy, managed to equalize with goals at 72nd and 92nd minute respectively, putting the scores at a nail-biting 2-2. But in an exciting twist, Brazil scored one more goal just 3 minutes later to make the game 3-2, a lead they managed to hold onto till the end of the game.

Statistically speaking, Mexico showed better ball control and possession management with nine corner kicks to Brazil's one. This indicated Mexico's enhanced pressure on Brazil's defense, but it lacked the necessary penetration to make the advantage count. The home team also had an offside, indicative of their aggressive attacking intent to score more goals.

On the fouls and disciplinary front, Brazil appears more transgressive with four fouls and three yellow cards compared to Mexico’s lower five fouls and no yellow cards. The yellow cards were handed out to the Brazilian team at crucial junctures of the game, especially the one at the tail end of the match which could have unsettled their rhythm.

In conclusion, despite showing a relative lack of possession as indicated by the corner kicks, Brazil managed their opportunities well, converting their shots into goals effectively thereby winning the match. The aggressive strategy of Mexico did pay dividends in the second half, but it was not enough to make up for the early goals conceded to Brazil. This match serves as a marked reminder that ball possession is significantly less important than decisive finishing.

Overall, even though the Brazilian team was more prone to fouls and picked up more yellow cards, they maintained a higher efficiency in goal conversion, which proved to be the linchpin in their victory over Mexico. The match presented a tale of two halves, with Brazil's precision in the first half and Mexico’s spirited fightback in the second serving up an engaging spectacle for the football enthusiasts.
