The match on May 19, 2023, between Olympiakos Nicosia and Doxa Katokopias FC undoubtedly kept football enthusiasts on the edge of their seats until the last minutes. The match ended with a 2-1 victory for the away team, Doxa Katokopias FC, but the match data reveals a fascinating story behind this result.

Olympiakos Nicosia opened the scoring in the second half at 01:01:56, but Doxa Katokopias FC quickly retaliated by making a comeback with goals at 01:19:40 and the dramatic late goal at 01:40:26. It's clear from these stats that while Olympiakos Nicosia had a good start to the second half, they weren’t able to sustain that momentum, allowing Doxa Katokopias to finish strongly.

One critical factor that stood out in the statistical data is the number of Corner kicks. Doxa Katokopias FC had a significant difference with seven corner kicks showing how they dominated the control over the ball and occupied the opponent's half more than Olympiakos Nicosia, which only had one corner kick throughout the game. Even though more corner kicks do not always translate to more goals, in this case, they likely resulted in keeping the pressure towards Olympiakos Nicosia’s defence leading eventually to goal-scoring opportunities.

Another interesting perspective the data provides is the indiscretions that happened throughout the game. Both teams posed equal aggression on the field, as suggested by the identical number of yellow cards (4) received by each team. This did not seem to impact the outcome significantly but undoubtedly shows the intensity of the match.

The offside data seems to suggest that Olympiakos Nicosia was a bit more aggressive in their attack, with three offsides compared to the one offside by Doxa Katokopias FC. While a more attacking style of play might have been instrumental in taking the lead early in the second half, it seems they were not very controlled in their approach, leading to offsides and failed goal-scoring opportunities.

In conclusion, while Olympiakos Nicosia showed great promise with their early goal in the second half, the stats reveal some of the key factors leading to Doxa Katokopias FC's success. Dominating the game with corner kicks and maintaining pressure on the opposing side's defence, coupled with timely goals, set them apart in this fiercely contested match. Despite the contentious nature of the game shown by the number of yellow cards, Doxa Katokopias FC handled their aggression better to turn this to their advantage and secure a win.
