Analysis The numbers behind the result
Vitória SC dominate but fail to convert high-volume chances
Vitória SC’s 74% possession and 29 total shots, including 17 inside the box, underscored their dominance, yet they failed to convert any of their eight shots on target into goals. Casa Pia’s defence held firm, with goalkeeper André Gomes making seven crucial saves to keep the scores level. Despite Vitória SC’s overwhelming control, their xG tells the story of inefficiency in front of goal, despite creating high-quality chances from 17 corners and 12 blocked shots.
Casa Pia’s 26% possession and seven total shots highlighted their defensive approach, with only three shots on target. Their disciplined structure and Gomes’ saves were pivotal in securing a point. Vitória SC’s inability to capitalise on their 454 accurate passes and 17 corner kicks ultimately defined the match, as their creativity failed to translate into clinical finishing.
The decisive stat lies in Vitória SC’s 8 shots on target without scoring, a testament to Casa Pia’s resolute defending and Gomes’ heroics.
