In a thrilling Vysshaya Liga competition at 17:00 EEST on June 21, 2024, FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk outsmarted their opponents FC Gomel, with a scoreline of 2-1.

FC Gomel started the match on an optimistic note, attempting to pioneer the scoring with an impressive seven corner kicks relative to Shakhtyor Soligorsk's three. However, these attacks failed to scare the Shakhtyor Soligorsk's defence despite Gomel's intense pressure. This is seen in the fact that they conceded only two goals in the second half, at 45:53 and 53:49, which gave the away team an upper hand. Later, FC Gomel managed to claw one goal back at 01:26:34 in the match - but it seemed to be too little, too late.

In the disciplinary department, Shakhtyor Soligorsk found themselves more in the referee's book with two yellow cards, compared to just one for FC Gomel. However, neither of the teams received a red card. This excessive foul count from Soligorsk could have potentially disrupted Gomel's rhythm and helped to defend their lead, but it would also suggest an area for improvement looking at future matches as it is not a sustainable strategy.

In terms of fouls, both teams presented a neck-and-neck fight, with FC Gomel registering 16 fouls and FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk slightly leading with 17. Even though FC Gomel had few offsides recorded (1), it's indicative of their aggressive attacking approach which unfortunately didn’t meet success. On the other hand, FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk had 2 offsides, indicating that their forwards were looking for opportunities to break the defensive line of Gomel.

In summary, although FC Gomel demonstrated a more attacking approach with their excessive corner kicks, the defensive mistakes and their inability to transform these set pieces into scoring opportunities turned out to be fatal against their rivals, Shakhtyor Soligorsk. On the contrary, Shakhtyor Soligorsk made full use of their scoring chances despite having fewer corner kicks and slightly more fouls, and it was these opportunistic strikes that ultimately determined the final score of the match. It underscores the saying - it's not about how much you have the ball, but what you do with it.
