In the early hours of the Premier League match between Bangladesh Police FC and Abahani Limited Dhaka held on the 2nd of February 2024, notable stats emerged setting a clear trajectory on the game play that ultimately dictated the final result.

Starting off aggressively, Abahani Limited Dhaka shot two early goals in the match. The first at 11 minutes 58 seconds into the first half, followed by a second one at the beginning of the second half, 50 minutes 40 seconds into the game, rendering the scoreboard a daunting 0-2 against home team, Bangladesh Police FC.

However, Bangladesh Police FC retaliated with a goal during the second half at 1 hour 3 minutes 55 seconds securing a final score of 1-2. Despite the overall loss, their late match performance was noticed and possibly could have changed the momentum had there been more time.

Important to note is the clear difference in corner kicks between the teams. Bangladesh Police FC dominated this front with a total of 9 corner kicks as opposed to Abahani Limited Dhaka's solitary one. Presumably, this influx in corner kicks would have translated into more scoring opportunities for the home team, however, the conversion was evidently low.

Discipline wise, both teams were level with one yellow card each. Abahani Limited Dhaka player was booked in the first half at the 30th minute while a Bangladesh Police FC player was carded in the second half at the 58th minute. Thankfully, no red cards were issued through the match, leaving both teams with their full rosters intact indicating that both teams maintained decent control of their game.

All in all, the key factor that swayed the game was undeniably Abahani Limited Dhaka's early goal scoring, pushing the home team into psychological and positional defensive. Despite having more corner kick opportunities, Bangladesh Police FC failed to leverage on them. This inefficiency in turning opportunities into tangible figures was the largest contributing factor to their disappointing result.

Notwithstanding the above, it can be inferred that both teams showcased good conduct, and adhered to fair play, judging by the minimal booking offenses. Yet, the absence of a proficient striker in Bangladesh Police FC's lineup was sorely felt, evident from the disproportionate corner to goal ratio reflected in the match's statistics. Future matches could potentially see an upturn provided a suitable solution to this deficiency is effected.
