In the AFC Asian Cup clash between Japan and Vietnam, that was held on 14 January 2024, Japan emerged victorious with a 4-2 win over Vietnam.

The first half of the game proved to be a classic ping-pong battle, with both teams constantly looking for an opening to take an advantage. The away team, Vietnam, took an early lead, scoring their first goal at 00:15:20. However, Japan equaled the score just ten minutes later at 00:10:39. Vietnam once again pulled ahead at 00:32:25, but Japan answered back, producing two more goals at 00:44:11 and 00:48:56, therefore closing the first half in their favor with a score of 3-2.

The second half saw Japan consolidate its lead by scoring an additional goal at 01:24:30, resulting in a final score of 4-2.

Analyzing the game from a statistics perspective, Japan showed a higher level of aggression and physicality during the match. From the given data, we can see that Japan committed 13 fouls compared to Vietnam's 6, showing the much higher aggressiveness from the home team. However, this aggressive style of play did not lead to more sanctions, as the home team received only one yellow card in the match, while Vietnam received none.

In terms of corner kicks - considered by many as a indirect measure of attacking potential – Japan led with 3 to Vietnam’s 1, demonstrating their higher pressure and consistent attacking play.

Interesting to note is the offsides statistic, where Japan had 3 compared to Vietnam's 1. This suggests that the Japanese team played a high defensive line and Vietnam appeared to struggle to beat the offside trap.

In summary, the critical difference between the two teams appeared to be the more aggressive and decisive performance from Japan, which combined with their effective attacking strategy, was key to their victory. Vietnam, although showing moments of brilliance and taking an early lead, was unable to match their adversaries and showed less assertiveness on the field.

In light of such data, it becomes clear that in this particular match, Japan's fighting spirit and impactful attacking approach made the difference, resulting in their 4-2 win over Vietnam.

The statistics certainly provide a fascinating insight into the match, which could prove very beneficial for football bettors in their future amateur or professional betting endeavors. It’s no surprise that an understanding of statistics is a powerful tool in predicting match outcomes.
