In a closely contested match of the AFC Champions League, Ventforet Kofu came through with a 1-0 victory against the Buriram United on 04 October 2023.

The only goal came rather late, 01:29:44 into the second half, which gave Ventforet the winning edge. It's noteworthy that while Buriram had a higher number of corner kicks, with a count of 8 compared to Ventforet's 6, they were not able to capitalize on their opportunities. Furthermore, Buriram committed less fouls (8) compared to Ventforet Kofu's 14, which indicates that Ventforet Kofu was a more aggressive side during the match.

In terms of disciplinary actions, both teams received one yellow card each. The hallmark of discipline in both teams was revealed as there were no red cards shown. The first card of the match went to the away team just 00:06:08 into the match which might have affected the team's aggressiveness especially in such an early stage of the match. Ventforet Kofu's yellow card came much later, 00:55:55 into the second half, and didn't seem to have an apparent influence on their morale or gameplay.

The performance of goalkeepers also plays a significant role in shaping the outcome of a match, seen in the game through the minimal number of goals scored. While we do not have explicit data about saves made by the goalkeepers, the limited number of goals suggests that they were both at the top of their game.

Offside play by both teams was relatively low with Ventforet Kofu registered at 2 counts and Buriram United with just 1 count. This reflects the disciplined and well-managed game strategies employed by both teams.

In summary, the defining factors in the match outcome were Ventforet Kofu’s aggressive play-style and their ability to capitalize on opportunities. Despite having less corner kicks and committing more fouls, they managed to score a goal, and that made all the difference in this AFC Champions League match. Despite a neither clean nor quiet match, both teams displayed praiseworthy discipline with only one yellow card issued each and no red cards.
