The U23 Liga Revelacao match held on April 16, 2024, ended one all, pointing to a well-fought match between SL Benfica U23 and Famalicao U23. This coverage provides a deep dive into the impact of vital match statistics such as goals, fouls, and corner kicks on the final result.
SL Benfica U23 started strong by scoring the first goal during the initial stages of the match. The home team's single goal reflected a strong offensive strategy in the first half. Its timing (just 16 minutes and 34 seconds into the game) shows that SL Benfica U23 was quick to exert pressure and perhaps capitalize on initial disorganization from the Famalicao U23 team.
However, the home team's performance showed a decline in the second half as Famalicao U23 managed to equalize. This single goal from Famalicao U23 came about 78 minutes into the second half (01:18:32), indicating a slow build-up, but successful finishing of an attacking move. It underlines the away team's determination and resolve to fight back and salvage at least a point.
From a discipline point of view, Famalicao U23 collected more game infringement records. They garnered a total of two yellow cards, one in the first half (46:06) and the second one in the second half (59:35). This could have contributed to SL Benfica U23's equalizer by disabling Famalicao's team structure and making it more prone to mistakes. On the other hand, SL Benfica received only one yellow card much later in the second half (54:14), perhaps indicating a more disciplined throughout the match.
However, both teams matched each other in corner kicks, recording three each, a testament to both the teams' attacking vigor. The equal number of corners indicates that both sides had approximately equal scoring chances from set pieces, although neither exploited them to maximum effect.
On balance, SL Benfica U23 had a commendable early aggression but perhaps didn't maintain the momentum in the second half, allowing Famalicao U23 to come back into the game. Famalicao showed resilience, although their discipline might need some work considering the two yellow cards. Neither team seemed to effectively capitalize on their corner kick opportunities, and further, both teams maintained their discipline by avoiding red card offenses throughout the match.
Various factors contributed to the eventual score-line, but it was clear that both teams demonstrated brilliant flashes of teamwork and individual performances. The draw can be attributed to Benfica's inability to maintain their initial aggression and Famalicao's persistent strides despite disciplinary setbacks.
