In their clash in the SAFF Championship, India came out as the victors against Lebanon with a final score of 4-2. The match had been evenly contested with various metrics showing a significantly close competition.

Evaluating goalkeeping actions, notably, Lebanon kicked the match off to a dream start with a penalty scored at the very beginning of the game. Regardless, India turned the tables, scoring 4 goals; double that of the home team – a significant difference that was ultimately the main determiner of the final result.

There was an equal measure of discipline from both sides in terms of fouls committed with a total of 15 from both parties. However, Lebanon was more undisciplined when it came to collecting yellow cards. Accumulating 4 yellow cards compared to India's 2, Lebanon conceded vital free-kicks and threw away potential counter-attacking opportunities. However, no player from either team went on to receive a red card, which could have drastically tipped the scale of the match.

Of particular note was the disparity in the number of corner kicks. With 8 corner kicks compared to Lebanon's 2, India had numerous opportunities to put the ball back into the fray. It's possible that a fair share of India's goals found their root in these set-piece situations that were frequent throughout the match.

Regarding offsides, neither team managed to gain a strategic advantage – both were flagged for 3 offsides each. This indicates that both teams were equally matched in terms of their defensive lines and forward runs.

In summary, India's ability to create and capitalize on set-piece situations combined with the greater level of discipline guided them to their success against Lebanon. Despite Lebanon's initial goal setting the stage, the home team's failure to maintain composure reflected in the higher number of yellow cards and fewer corners significantly detriment their match performance.
