The victory came as a result of a strong team performance, along with some key strategic decisions evident in match statistics.

The home team, Nea Salamina Famagusta FC, was quick off the blocks, recording their first goal a mere 42 minutes into the game, putting them ahead (1-0). This early lead may have been pivotal, setting the psychological pace of the game early on.

Omonia Nicosia managed to equalize the score 82 minutes into the match (1-1), but Nea Salamina responded almost instantly, regaining the lead with another goal at the 85th minute (2-1). This swift response has been seen as the critical game-changing moment of the match.

Despite having only one corner kick compared to Omonia Nicosia's five, Nea Salamina was more effective in capitalizing on their opportunities. This suggests both excellent defensive tactics and reliable offensive coordinating, particularly during set pieces. Netting two goals on fewer overall opportunities demonstrates a high level of precision and efficiency in their offensive strategies.

In terms of discipline, the home team Nea Salamina picked up more yellow cards (3) than their rivals (2), which could have potentially disrupted their momentum. Notably, two of these cards were issued in quick succession (70th and 77th minutes/mark), indicating a period of intense pressure from their opponents, Omonia Nicosia.

In conclusion, despite being somewhat more indisciplined, Nea Salamina Famagusta FC's effective attacking strategies and solid defensive structure played a significant role in securing their 2-1 victory over Omonia Nicosia. On the other hand, Omonia Nicosia's inability to make the most of their corner kicks and their struggles with the offside trap significantly hampered their chances of securing a win. It is evident that the effectiveness in capitalizing on opportunities and maintaining discipline during the game had the most impactful influence on this match's outcome.
