In their recent U20 World Cup match, Brazil U20 edged out Nigeria U20 with a convincing 2-0 victory. Analyzing the statistical factors from the game, what shines the most is not only the result but the way Brazil managed to maintain dominance throughout the game.

The telling part came in the first half with Brazil netting two crucial goals within a matter of minutes. The first goal made its way at the 42nd minute and the second quickly followed at the 46th minute. Nigeria had no answer to the quick-fire goals, which put Brazil in a very comfortable position before the halftime whistle. The tactical approach of Brazil paying off in catching Nigeria off-guard in the final minutes of the first half was noteworthy.

Throughout the match, the discipline of the players is also vital to consider. Brazil managed to keep a clean record till as far as the 71st minute, when their first yellow card was issued. They maintained this discipline till the end, receiving only one more yellow without conceding any red. Nigeria's discipline was not at par, earning a yellow card earlier at the 18th minute and then earning two more in the second half equating to a total of three.

When checking out set piece performances, both teams were fairly matched with Brazil having 8 corner kicks versus Nigeria's 7. It reinforces Brazil's domination in the field play, but it also suggests good defensive efforts from Nigeria denying Brazil from overly expanding their lead from these interiors.

Analyzing foul data, Brazil's aggressive playstyle is reflected as they committed double the fouls (8) compared to Nigeria (4). Interestingly, even with more fouls, Brazil managed to contain the damage with less yellow cards overall compared to Nigeria, indicating the effectiveness of their defensive maneuvers despite the increased aggression.

Ultimately, the deciding factors for this match were Brazil's first half offensive onslaught and second half defensive solidity, contrasting with Nigeria's discipline issues and deficiency in goal. It was a game of high tactical acumen, and Brazil U20 managed to shine in the execution of their gameplay strategy. As Brazil looks forward to their next match, maintaining the same level of intensity and discipline may prove to be instrumental to their continued success.
