In the highly anticipated FA Cup match between the Beijing Institute Technology FC (home team) and Guangxi Pingguo Haliao (away team), it was the Guangxi side that came out on top in a tense and nail-biting contest that ended 1-0.

The single but decisive goal of the match came early in the first half (at 00:10:41), showing Guangxi’s lethal counter-attacking ability against the home team. This quick score set the tone for the rest of the match, with the Guangxi team maintaining their defensive solidity and keeping the home team at bay.

In terms of discipline, the match was quite feisty, with a total of 7 yellow cards shown - 4 to the home team and 3 to the away team. The first yellow card appeared a mere minute and a half into the game, showcasing the bitingly competitive nature of the match from the get-go. The home team outnumbered the away team on yellow cards, which might have been an indicator of their anxiety to level the scores and the high-intensity approach they adopted.

Contrarily, despite the Guangxi team's aggressive start, post their early goal, they seemed to be more focused on maintaining their lead than increasing it. This approach could be seen in their lower number of corner kicks, compared to Beijing. The home team had 9 corner kicks in the game as against the two by the away team, suggesting that Beijing enjoyed a higher share of attacking possession but lacked the efficiency to change this dominance into concrete results.

Still, it was noteworthy that the Beijing side was caught offside only once, compared to the Guangxi team's twice, an indicator of the home team's better timing and understanding in their attacking play.

The bottom line is that, despite a combative display from Beijing Institute Technology FC, the early strike from Guangxi Pingguo Haliao proved decisive in this encounter. For the bettors, this game showcased that being aggressive or having more possession does not necessarily equate to success, making it a salient example of the unpredictability and thrill of football. It was the Guangxi side's efficient use of their opportunities and solid defensive structure that was the match's deciding factor.
