The match between Sweden (W) and South Africa (W) in the Women's World Cup, held on July 23, 2023, presented a high-intensity match with the home team emerging victorious with a 2:1 win.

The degree of control Sweden had over the game was evident in the fact that they claimed an overwhelming 13 corner kicks compared to South Africa’s 1. This suggests that the Swedes consistently applied pressure on the South African defence, keeping the game mainly in their opposition’s half. Moreover, Sweden maintained excellent discipline throughout the match, receiving no yellow cards, compared to two issues to the South African team, indicating that the home team was able to maintain composure and guard against unnecessary fouls.

However, despite Sweden’s dominance, it was South Africa who put the ball into the net first after the break at the 49th minute, giving them an early second-half lead. Sweden, however, showed resilience, and with sustained attacking pressure, they managed to equalize and then put the game to bed with goals at the 73rd and 90th minutes of the match, respectively.

One interesting stat that stood out was the number of offsides, South Africa recorded 4 offsides, double that of Sweden's 2. This indicates a tendency from South African forwards to attempt to beat the Swedish defence, highlighting their more aggressive, risky approach. On the other hand, Sweden's play indicated a more measured approach, maintaining sound defensive discipline, whilst exploiting attacking opportunities.

In summary, the Swedish Women's team exhibited excellent control, discipline, and resilience, which appears to have been key to their victory. They effectively managed the game, and their sustained pressure eventually wore down their opponents, allowing them to seal the win late in the game. +On the other hand, while South Africa showed flashes of dangerous play, their lack of discipline and failure to manage the game effectively seems to have cost them the match.

For bettors, this match indicates Sweden's ability to manage games effectively, keep the play in the opponent's half, and capitalize on their chances. It also highlights South Africa's higher-risk strategy, which may yield goals but can also leave them exposed at the back. These insights provide useful information about team style and strategy that can be applied in future betting contexts.
