In the First Division match that took place on 26th November 2023, AEZ Zakakiou hosted Nea Salamina Famagusta FC and the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Looking at the statistics, this fascinating match had a high level of competitiveness from both sides which significantly impacted the final result.

During the encounter, both teams showcased impressive attacking performances which resulted in an equal number of goals. AEZ Zakakiou opened the scoring at 00:13:54 in the first half before Nea Salamina managed to equalize at 00:22:06. In the second half, the visitors took the lead at 00:54:56, but the home team didn't succumb and equalized at 01:31:44.

Despite the draw, AEZ Zakakiou did outperform Nea Salamina in certain aspects of the game. The home team dominated in terms of corner kicks with a total of 9, which is more than double of the away team's 4. Their push for creating more scoring opportunities via corners might be seen as a tactical advantage but it did not translate into more goals.

Moreover, Zakakiou’s discipline seems to be slightly better in comparison. They received 3 yellow cards compared to Nea Salamina's 4. Interestingly, all the three yellow cards for Zakakiou were evenly spread throughout the match, whereas Nea Salamina received all four yellow cards in the second half. This accumulation of yellow cards led to a sending off towards the end of the match which resulted in the away team having to finish the match with 10 players. This could have created more pressure on Nea Salamina, allowing Zakakiou to take control, ultimately leading to their equalizing goal.

Despite both teams ending the match with two goals apiece, the number of offsides might suggest a slightly aggressive attacking approach from Zakakiou. They recorded one offside during the entirety of the match, whilst the away team kept a disciplined attacking line, registering zero offsides.

In conclusion, despite the final score-line suggesting otherwise, AEZ Zakakiou showed a stronger performance in pursuing attacking opportunities, as exhibited by their corner kick advantage and aggressive offensive line. Nea Salamina Famagusta FC, on the other hand, were quite undisciplined, as evidenced by their yellow card count and the consequential red card, which possibly hindered their performance as they had to navigate the final periods of the match with a man down. However, their defensive organization in terms of the offsides trap was quite commendable. In the future games, maintaining discipline and capitalizing on attacking opportunities may play an even more significant role in determining the outcome.
