In a goalless draw that left both Botafogo RJ and Cuiaba EC searching for creative inspiration, statistics highlight some crucial dynamics that shaped the match. Botafogo RJ dominated in terms of corner kicks with eight opportunities compared to Cuiaba EC’s solitary corner. This indicates a consistent presence in the attacking third, yet an inability to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities. The home team also found themselves frequently caught offside, five times to be precise, suggesting attempts to break Cuiaba EC’s defensive line, albeit with limited success.

A notable aspect of the game was Cuiaba EC amassing six yellow cards, reflective of their physical and perhaps overly aggressive approach to stifle Botafogo RJ’s attack. Such a significant disciplinary imbalance did not translate into a numerical advantage for Botafogo RJ, as no red cards were issued. Despite Cuiaba EC's disciplinary issues, Botafogo's failure to exploit the yellow-laden opposition indicates missed opportunities to apply sustained pressure and create goal-scoring chances.

Botafogo RJ's defense maintained composure, avoiding any bookings throughout the match. This is indicative of a disciplined backline that managed to handle Cuiaba EC’s offensive efforts responsibly. Meanwhile, Cuiaba EC’s strategic, albeit risky, defensive effort succeeded in containing Botafogo RJ's advances. However, this came at the cost of numerous defense-related fouls, likely disrupting their own rhythm. The lack of goals despite these dynamics ultimately underscores a need for both sides to polish their finishing abilities and decision-making in crucial scenarios.
