The First Division match between Turan Tovuz IK II and Zaqatala PFK was a tightly contested but ultimately cynical affair, clearly demonstrated by the high count of seven yellow cards - three for the home side and four for the visitors.

In this closely contested affair, Zaqatala PFK showed promise early on, taking advantage of lax defending to establish a 0-2 lead, thanks to goals at 00:42:21 in the first half and 00:54:35 in the second half. However, as the match progressed, Turan Tovuz IK II began staging a comeback, overturning the deficit and securing the victory with 3 goals (at 01:10:21, 01:26:42, and 01:34:32), all in the second half.

Although both teams had similar foul-play statistics, reflected in the number of yellow cards, the home team was more efficient in key areas of the match. They demonstrated more effective use of their possession and created quality chances from dead-ball situations, with two corner kicks, one of which likely led to a goal. Zaqatala PFK, on the other hand, only had one corner kick, indicating a lack of threatening positions in the attacking third.

Disciplinary issues played a significant part in the game's dynamics, particularly for Zaqatala PFK, who accumulated four yellow cards in the second half alone. This high tally is indicative of either tactical fouling or a lack of composure, both of which could have contributed to their declining control of the match and eventual loss.

On the other hand, it's worth noting that the home team's comeback coincided with the accumulation of yellow cards for the away team. As soon as the away team picked up their first booking in the second half, Turan Tovuz IK II scored their first goal of the match. It's possible that this opened up more spaces and reduced defensive intensity for Zaqatala PFK.

Despite the away team being significantly disciplined during the game, their inability to maintain consistent pressure during key moments of the match, combined with their lower corner kick conversion, might have been the tipping point of this fixture.

Overall, the match was characterized by a shift in momentum initiated by the home team's fighting spirit and Zaqatala PFK's noticeable decline in discipline and tactical focus in the latter stages of the match.
