Fulham took advantage and scored
Despite having just 29% ball possession, Fulham showed themselves fully committed to the match and achieved a resounding victory. Making the most of their opportunities, the home team had 5 shots on goal, of which 3 ended in a goal. On the other hand, Brighton looked disorganized and vulnerable throughout the match, showing an erroneous strategy that did not adapt to their needs. In the second half, when a reaction from Brighton was expected, the team continued to be disoriented and failed to improve its performance. Despite having control of the ball, Brighton posed no significant threat and looked vulnerable in defence, allowing Fulham to capitalize in open spaces.

Analysis of the first half
Brighton have maintained possession of the ball for most of the match, reaching 70%, but the majority of this possession has been limited to the midfield and has not posed a significant threat to the home team. With only 5 shot attempts and one of them on goal, Brighton has failed to trouble Fulham, showing difficulties in generating danger after goals conceded. In contrast, Fulham have capitalized on their opportunities by scoring twice, despite not dominating the game. With 4 shots in total and 3 of them on target, Fulham has shown effectiveness in front of the rival goal. The first goal came after a solid attack by Muniz, who found space in a disorganized defense, while the second was the result of an excellent shot from the right side of the field by the home team.
