In their First Division clash, Karvan FK snatched a narrow 1-0 victory over home team MOIK Baku on February 8, 2024. This result was largely down to the quality of their defense, discipline, and well-executed counter-attacking strategy.

The lone goal of the match was netted by the away team early in the second half, setting the tone for the remainder of the match. Despite being on the back foot, MOIK Baku wasn't effective in capitalizing on their attacking opportunities, as reflected in their significant number of offsides, which was 7 compared to Karvan FK's 2. This reflects that MOIK Baku were attempting to break through Karvan's well-organized defense line but lacked the discipline and timing in their approach.

From a disciplinary perspective, a healthier picture was painted by the home team, who received just one yellow card compared to Karvan FK's two. However, despite having one fewer yellow card, this factor did not translate into any significant advantage for MOIK Baku, which indicates that the home team was not able to leverage their slightly better discipline to influence the game outcome positively.

The game was equally balanced when it came to corner kicks with both teams having 6. This is an indication that both sides had their fair share of attacking zones and opportunities via set-pieces. However, the absence of goals from the home team suggests that they were unable to convert their chances into goals, with Karvan FK's defense holding firm.

This match was tactically won by Karvan FK who despite having fewer chances and being less disciplined in terms of fouls, managed to convert their scarce opportunities, specifically the lone goal early in the second half. They deployed a disciplined defensive formation that managed to mitigate MOIK Baku's attacks and offside tactics.

In conclusion, the single goal early in the second half combined with the well-disciplined defensive strategy allowed Karvan FK to fissure the home team and resulted in a vital away win for them. For MOIK Baku, their lack of discipline in terms of offside and inability to convert corner kicks into goals left them goalless and ultimately cost them the match.
