This First League match between OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad (home team) and CSKA 1948 Sofia (away team) was a quite competitive and high tension encounter, characterized by a series of tense events and a strong performance from both sides.

OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad scored two second-half goals to secure a 2-1 victory after they were a goal down from CSKA 1948 Sofia in the second half as early as the 58th minute. The perseverance and resilience of the home team can be gleaned from the timing of their goals. It's worth noting that the home team scoring their first goal (in the 69th minute) just eleven minutes after the away team had scored could be a result of the psychological and physical pressure applied on the away team, which saw the tide of the match shift in favor of OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad.

There seems to be a positive relationship in this match between the number of yellow cards a team received and their goal tally. OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad had four yellow cards and two goals, while CSKA 1948 Sofia had three yellow cards and one goal. This could be indicative of a more physical and aggressive style of play employed by both teams, which contributed to the high card count in this game. Of course, such an observation could be merely coincidental, but it serves as a reference point to quantify how aggression and persistence could lead to goal-scoring opportunities.

In terms of goal opportunities created, CSKA 1948 Sofia seems to have had a slight edge with six corner kicks to their name as opposed to only two for OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad. Nonetheless, the home team proved to be more clinical in their finishing, netting two goals to seal the contest.

It also appears from the data that CSKA 1948 Sofia lacked in discipline compared to OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad, given the away team’s higher number of fouls, albeit marginally.

A significant factor that could have affected the outcome of the match is the home team's effectiveness in keeping their formation and disrupting CSKA 1948 Sofia’s offensive lines, given that the away team was called offside more often than the home team.

In conclusion, the match revolved around the home team’s resilience and discipline that helped them to recover from a goal down and secure the victory, despite CSKA 1948 Sofia’s more numerous corner kick opportunities. Both teams showed a high level of aggression as displayed by the high card count, but it was OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad that proved to be more effective in converting their chances.
