This high-stakes face-off between CE Operario Varzea Grandense MT (home team) and Mixto MT (away team) in the Campeonato Matogrossense competition ended in an unexpected 3-1 victory for Mixto MT. The game was packed full with action on the pitch, from a flurry of early goals to a string of yellow cards.

Mixto MT took the lead when they scored only six minutes into the game and surprised everyone by doubling it before the end of the first half. Varzea Grandense responded in the second half, narrowing the lead to just one goal, only for Mixto to extend it again and eventually end the game with a two-goal advantage.

Looking at the data, it's clear that Mixto MT had an upper hand throughout the match. The away team's superiority in taking advantage of their chances was likely the defining factor in the outcome of the match. They had six corner kicks to Varzea Grandense's three, which suggests that their offensive pressure resulted in more goal-scoring opportunities. Mixto's striking efficiency also appears to have been superior, as indicated by their three goals.

One can't overlook the number of offsides Mixto accrued. Repetitively caught on the offside trap six times compared to Operario’s single offside infraction suggests that Mixto's attacks could have been less rushed or better coordinated. However, this did not affect the overall result.

In open play, Varzea Grandense were unable to generate the same level of offensive pressure as Mixto. This was a key area where the home team slipped and an indirect reason behind having fewer corners.

Additionally, discipline seemed to waver on the pitch slightly with the away team picking up three yellow cards, one more than the home side had. While these did not directly result in any players being sent off, it still alludes to the defense challenges faced by both sides during the game.

Although Varzea Grandense pushed back in the second half to bring the score line to 1-2, Mixto’s response came quickly. The home side's struggle to gain a more prominent foothold in the match, along with Mixto’s aggressive intent shown by the number of corners and offsides, finally tipped the balance decidedly in favor of the away team.

In conclusion, Mixto’s superior attacking, alongside their ability to exploit set-pieces was well complemented by their tenaciousness. However, both teams must address their discipline on the field as it could have far-reaching consequences in much tighter affairs. And while Varzea Grandense showed flashes of potential, their performance was inconsistent, something they will need to address going forward.
