In a highly energetic match from First League on 2nd December 2023, CSKA 1948 Sofia triumphed over FK Hebar Pazardzhik with a 3-1 victory. Despite CSKA Sofia receiving more yellow cards and even a dismissal, the visitors displayed better composure in front of the goal, which made a huge difference to the outcome of the match.

CSKA Sofia's blistering performance was visible from the early moments of the game when they scored their initial goal just 18 minutes and 41 seconds into the first half. Their sustained momentum is evidenced by their second goal scored at 52 minutes and 50 seconds into the second half, followed by a crucial final goal at 68 minutes and 8 seconds. On the other hand, FK Hebar Pazardzhik struggled to find their rhythm and only managed a consolation goal near the end of the second half, at 77 minutes and 29 seconds.

Analyzing statistically, FK Hebar Pazardzhik dominated in terms of corner kicks, with eight as opposed to CSKA Sofia's three. This suggests that despite their lack of goals, FK Hebar Pazardzhik pushed their opponents into defensive positions more frequently. However, CSKA Sofia's disciplined defense workforce effectively shut down the threat from these set-piece opportunities.

Another interesting observation is evident from the offside statistics. Hebar Pazardzhik was caught offside four times during the match as compared to CSKA Sofia's two times. This fact underlines a significant difference in the sides' attacking tactics, where FK Hebar Pazardzhik appeared to be keener on pressing the attack via a higher line, ultimately falling into the offside trap more consistently.

FK Hebar Pazardzhik lit up the referee's book only once for a yellow card in the second half, whereas CSKA Sofia found themselves in a spot of bother with fouls, receiving three yellow cards throughout the game, and a red card. Despite the numerical disadvantage and more aggressive gameplay of CSKA Sofia, they managed to keep their cool and come out on top.

In conclusion, the most significant factor in CSKA Sofia's victory was their lethal and efficient attack, taking their chances and converting them into goals. Despite FK Hebar Pazardzhik's aggressive forward play and an increased number of corner kicks, they were not able to capitalize these opportunities into goals. Furthermore, the number of offsides given against FK Hebar Pazardzhik suggested a lack of on-field discipline which heavily weighed against their performance, as showcased in the final scoreline.
