In the Super League match held on June 3, 2023, Chengdu Rongcheng FC pulled off an impressive victory over Shanghai Port FC by a narrow margin of 1-0. Even though the home team, Shanghai Port FC, delivered a dominant performance in terms of statistic values, they were unable to translate their charged gameplay into goal-scoring opportunities.
The entire match saw a total of 7 yellow cards, a majority of which were allotted in the first half of the game. Chengdu Rongcheng FC was given 4 out of these 7, showing a higher foul rate, adding an edge to an aggressive defensive game against the home team. Besides, their single red card gave an extra advantage to Shanghai Port FC, who nonetheless, failed in capitalizing this opportunity.
While Shanghai Port FC excelled in dealing corners, gathering a significant number of 16 corner kicks as compared to only 5 from Chengdu Rongcheng FC, it seems that their tactics on set-piece situations were not effective enough to break Chengdu Rongcheng FC's defense. The inability of Shanghai Port to convert these numerous corner kick opportunities into successful goals largely contributed to their loss.
Analyzing the disagreements with the referee's decisions, it's evident that Shanghai Port FC had slightly less discord on the field, with 3 yellow cards against the 4 from Chengdu Rongcheng FC.
However, the only goal of the match was scored by Chengdu Rongcheng FC in the early minutes of the second half, which tilted the scale in their favor and possibly led to the win. This vital goal was the most striking factor that had a significant impact on the match outcome, proving yet again the old adage, "Goals win matches.”
In conclusion, while Shanghai Port FC led the match in dominating the game statistically, it was Chengdu Rongcheng FC who used their scoring chances more effectively. Despite a higher foul rate and aggressive defense, Chengdu Rongcheng FC managed to keep their net safe, showcasing the effectiveness of their strategy. This match once again highlighted the importance of converting scoring opportunities over statistical domination in football bettors' perspective.
