In the Primeira Liga match held on 31st January 2023, SL Benfica dominated FC Arouca with a score of 3-0. The game displayed the distinct superiority of SL Benfica, not only in terms of goals but also across multiple key statistical factors.
SL Benfica was highly assertive and accurate in front of the goal, taking 13 shots on goal compared to FC Arouca's 7. This offensive display, coupled with only 4 shots off goal (compared to FC Arouca's 6), led to the comprehensible 3-0 victory.
Impressively, FC Arouca's goalkeeper made 10 saves, 3 more than SL Benfica's goalkeeper, reflecting their strong defensive play. Unfortunately, Arouca's defensive valiance wasn't enough to make up for their lack of offensive execution and resulted in the absorption of three goals.
While both teams executed a similar number of offsides (SL Benfica had 3, FC Arouca 2), the real divergence arose in corner kicks and fouls. SL Benfica successfully capitalised on its opportunities, making 6 corner kicks compared to Arouca's 3. SL Benfica was also disciplined, committing only 8 fouls as compared to Arouca's 14, adding another feather in their cap of commanding performance.
On a tactical note, it's worth noting that SL Benfica made 2 substitutions while FC Arouca made 3. This reveals SL Benfica's management had a certain degree of confidence in the performing squad, requiring fewer changes throughout the match.
In conclusion, SL Benfica's superiority was evident in their offensive precision and disciplined play, along with superior utilization of corner kicks. For FC Arouca, their battle was lost in their offensive half, with fewer shots on goal and ineffective use of corner kicks. Going forward, FC Arouca might want to focus on boosting their attacking strategies to enjoy better results.
