They attempted a significant number of shots on goal with a 7 out of 11 shots hitting the target while Mingachevir managed only 4 shots on target out of their 8 attempts. Despite Shamakhi's aggressiveness, the Mingachevir goalkeeper made commendable efforts to keep his team in the game, accounting for 4 saves compared to the 3 made by Shamakhi's goalkeeper.

Furthermore, the statistic of offsides, being 2 for Shamakhi and 1 for Mingachevir, predicted the relentless and ambitious offensive approach of the home team, which in turn resulted in a win.

In conclusion, the combination of Shamakhi FK II's attacking mindset, their utilization of set pieces, and their ability to keep the pressure on Mingachevir was crucial in their decisive victory. Meanwhile, Energetik FK Mingachevir's defense and counter-attacks need more coordination and efficiency going forward.
