+    Single-case ``match`` statements can be simplified to ``if`` statements.
+
+    Reasoning:
+        Using ``match`` for a single case is unnecessarily complex compared to a
+        simple ``if`` condition. The intent is clear, and using ``if`` reduces
+        nesting and cognitive load.
+
+    Solution:
+        Replace single-case ``match ... case`` statements with ``if``.
+
+    When is this violation is raised?
+        - When there is exactly one ``case`` statement
+        - When the pattern is simple (literal, constant, enum, etc.)
+        - When no guard (``if`` ...) is used
+        - When no wildcard pattern is used
+
+    Example::
+
+        # Correct:
+        if x == 1:
+            do_something()
+
+        # Wrong:
