In a Bundesliga clash on the 7th of May 2023, FK Austria Wien hosted SK Sturm Graz, the latter of which edged the match with a 2-1 win. The match was packed with a good deal of actions and statistically intriguing moments that shaped the outcome of the game.

SK Sturm Graz established dominance early in the first half. Despite there being an equal number of yellow cards assigned to both teams in the first half, SK Sturm Graz made the most of their opportunities, with two goals, the first scored at 21:12 and the second at 43:08. FK Austria Wien could not respond to these goals despite having the same number of cards, indicating a more significant effectiveness from the away side in utilizing possession and momentum.

In the second half, FK Austria Wien managed to pull a goal back at 53:12, giving the home supporters a gleam of hope. However, the home team couldn't capitalize on the momentum from their goal, even though they received their second yellow card much later in the half at 86:26 compared to Graz's card at 51:43. This showcases the away team's defensive resilience and ability to manage the game under pressure.

Speaking of set pieces, the match saw 7 corner kicks in total, slightly favoring SK Sturm Graz with 4 against Austria Wien's 3. Although not a vast difference, the one corner advantage Graz had still points towards their better offensive play and control in offensive third. This potentially contributed to their win as it kept the home team under consistent pressure with Graz having more chances to score.

Moreover, while the match was unfortunately marred by two yellow cards for each team, neither team saw a player sent off. Though the disciplinary actions might have disrupted gameplay, neither team let this alter their game strategies significantly.

In conclusion, SK Sturm Graz's control and utilization of opportunities despite equal fouls, slightly higher corner kicks and their ability to efficiently handle pressure in the second half gave them an upper hand in this game. This resilience and efficient offensive play appear to be the key factors in their victory against FK Austria Wien.
