In the Serie B competition held on 20th May 2023 at 19:00 EEST, Sport Recife comprehensively defeated Botafogo FC SP 3-0, showcasing impressive tactical superiority and clinical finishing.

Sport Recife broke the deadlock within the first half at exactly 00:49:26, setting them on a positive track for the rest of the game. This early goal was instrumental, not only in setting the pace but also in keeping the home crowd's spirits up, and proving important for the final match result.

Despite recording a lower number of corner kicks (5 compared to Botafogo's 7), Sport Recife held a solid defence throughout the game, ensuring Botafogo's set-piece efforts were all successfully thwarted. Furthermore, the home team maintained a squeaky-clean game with zero offsides and recorded lesser fouls (3) compared to the away team (5).

Botafogo FC SP, on the other hand, experienced some disciplinary issues with two yellow cards metered out, one in each half. This significantly hindered their strategy as they had to play a more cautious game - a factor that further contributed to their loss.

Sport Recife's second and third goals, coming in the second half at 00:59:29 and 01:32:32 respectively, effectively sealed the game by putting it out of Botafogo's reach. The result was a testament to Sport Recife's efficient striking, where they made the most out of their goal-scoring opportunities.

A major highlight of Sport Recife's performance was their discipline and teamwork. Their success in staying onside throughout the match, along with their low foul count attests to their excellent teamwork and understanding of their game plan. Clearly, they were more composed and resolute, successfully restricting Botafogo who will be disappointed with their offside counts and higher foul involvement.

In conclusion, Sport Recife's disciplined style of play, their ability to make fewer fouls, avoid off-sides and maintain a clean sheet in terms of yellow cards were the key factors that led to their victory in this game. Their efficiency in front of goal, coupled with Botafogo's lack of discipline, turned out to be the decisive factors that shaped the outcome of this clash. Botafogo will have to regroup and reassess their strategy moving forward in order to cut out the mistakes that cost them this game.
