In a pulsating First Division encounter on the 1st of April, 2023, pitting AEL Limassol against Akritas Chlorakas, both teams shared the spoils as the match ended in a 2-2 draw. A number of statistical factors contributed to the result and shaped the course of the game.

The first standout statistical factor was in relation to the goals scored. Despite having a significant difference in corner kicks, with AEL Limassol having eight in total compared to Akritas Chlorakas's one, this superiority did not translate into additional goals for the home team.

The imbalance in corner kicks demonstrates AEL Limassol had the lion's share of attacking opportunities and positional advantages. Yet, their efficiency in converting these chances raises questions. On the other side, Akritas Chlorakas scored two goals, which is a testament to their clinical nature in front of goal as they managed to capitalize on their fewer chances effectively.

In relation to cards, both teams were quite balanced in this aspect, receiving two yellow cards each, without any player getting sent off. AEL received their first yellow card in the 76th minute and their second in the 85th minute. Akritas, on the other hand, got their first booking in the 47th minute and their second in the 84th minute. This fair play further underscores the competitive nature of the match and the effective control the referee had on it, although it didn't significantly affect the outcome.

Even in respect to offside calls, the occurrence was minimal with AEL Limassol called offside twice and Akritas Chlorakas once. This suggests that both teams were disciplined in their attacking lines, and the defenses were not caught out significantly.

Interestingly, neither team dominated significantly in scoring their goals. Akritas Chlorakas scored in the 22nd minute of the first half to lead at half time. AEL Limassol made their comeback in the second half, scoring two quick-fire goals at the beginning of the second half; the first at 62nd and the second just a minute after, at the 63rd minute. Akritas showed their fighting spirit by leveling the score at the 72nd minute, demonstrating that both teams were quite evenly matched in their performance.

In conclusion, while AEL Limassol dominated in terms of chances created (clearly depicted by their superior corner kick count), Akritas Chlorakas were efficient in their finishing, managing to score two goals from fewer opportunities. Discipline in avoiding offside and controlling aggressive play were common strong attributes for both teams.
