This heated match between Kapfenberger SV and SKN St. Polten that took place on May 21, 2023 in the competitive 2. Liga was indeed one for the books. The home team Kapfenberger SV emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, a performance impacted significantly by the goals scored by each team, the use of corner kicks and discipline on the pitch as seen with the number of yellow cards issued.

In terms of goals recorded, Kapfenberger SV demonstrated an impressive ability to rebound after the away team SKN St. Polten levelled the match at 1-1 in just the first half. The home team displayed resilience in the second half, bouncing back with another goal at 63 minutes to claim victory. Despite St. Polten's early equalizer, their inability to counter in the second half evidently impacted the final outcome.

Considering the disciplinary records of both teams, a significant gap can be seen. SKN St. Polten were issued a total of 8 yellow cards, which was notably higher than Kapfenberger SV's total of 3 cards. Undoubtedly, the lack of discipline displayed may have substantially handicapped St. Polten's on-pitch performance, pulling many players out of useful play due to concerns about further punishments. On the other hand, Kapfenberger SV's greater level of discipline may have contributed significantly to their match-winning performance.

In terms of set-piece play, St. Polten led with 8 corner kicks against Kapfenberger's 4. However, this upper hand was apparently not effectively used to the away team's advantage. Conversely, Kapfenberger were able to convert their fewer set-piece opportunities into tangible results, a vital aspect of their win.

Although St. Polten committed slightly more fouls than Kapfenberger (7 compared to 6), both teams demonstrated a level of aggression in their play that did not translate into red cards but may have factored into the high yellow card count.

In regards to offsides, St.Polten edged Kapfenberger with two offences to one. Even though these could have presented missed opportunities, they had minimal influence on the match final outcome.

Altogether, the final scoreline reflected Kapfenberger SV's ability to capitalize on their opportunities, their better discipline and efficient use of set-piece plays. Despite St. Polten's aggressive push, via corner kicks and equalizing early in the game, their undisciplined behaviour on the pitch negatively affected their performance.
