The Serie A clash between CA Paranaense and Botafogo RJ on 03 June 2023 saw the home team narrowly emerge victorious, with a 1-0 scoreline. This comprehensive analysis of the match will explore the key statistical indexes that led to Paranaense's win.
First off, the game's only goal came relatively early, at the 00:41:55 mark of the first half. This allowed Paranaense to play a more defensive style for the remainder of the game, which clearly played to their advantage as they managed to prevent Botafogo RJ from scoring.
Despite a higher number of corner kicks for the visitors, seven to Paranaense's six, Botafogo were unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, which had significant implications on the final result. The home team, on the other hand, managed to make the most of their corners. This suggests superior execution in attacking set-pieces for the victors, or perhaps a more stout defensive performance when dealing with corner threats.
Interestingly, both teams committed only a single foul each in the entire 90 minutes, indicating restrained aggression and discipline from both sets of players. However, the level of discipline is questionable given the number of yellow cards issued during the match. Paranaense received three yellow cards, significantly more than the one shown to Botafogo. All the yellow cards Paranaense earned were also packed into the latter part of the game, which could have potentially exposed them to late pressure from the visitors.
Despite the number of cards issued, no player from either side received a red card, allowing both teams to keep on the pitch all their players for the entire match.
In conclusion, the early goal from Paranaense, coupled with their ability to hold their defence despite the pressure and playing a significant chunk of the game on cautions, played pivotal roles in securing their victory.
