The Czech Cup match between FK Olympie Brezova and FC Viktoria Marianske Lazne on 29 July 2023 was a closely contested and rather heated encounter that ended with the away team eking out a narrow 5-4 victory after an impressive comeback. The huge number of goals, yellow cards, and red cards made this contest one of great importance for the bettors.

When it comes to goal-scoring, the home team started strong with an early strike in the 10th minute, however, FC Viktoria Marianske Lazne pulled level in the 36th minute. Olympie seized the initiative once again in the second half with back-to-back goals to make it 3-1 in just over 63 minutes. However, they couldn't hold on to their comfortable lead as Viktoria scored in the 85th and 91st minutes to force the game into overtime.

To the home team's credit, they again showed their character by going ahead in the first half of overtime, but Viktoria showed gritty resilience, equalizing shortly afterward and then scoring the winner in the second half of overtime. A closer look at corner kicks data reveals that, Olympie had 1 more corner than Viktoria (6-5), suggesting a marginally greater attacking intent.

The discipline aspect also evidently played a significant role in the result. A total of 6 yellow cards were dished out in the match, with FK Olympie Brezova picking up as many as 4. More crucially, they had two players sent off for second bookable offenses, giving a serious blow to their strength and structure. FC Viktoria Marianske Lazne, on the other hand, kept their cool relatively better, with just 2 yellow cards and no dismissals. As these data suggest, Viktoria's better discipline proved a key differential in the game's outcome, as their numerical advantage in the extended period might have been decisive.

The pattern of goal timings also highlights how momentum shifts impacted the match outcome. While Olympie's goals were more scattered, Viktoria scored their goals in pairs (first two in the closing stages to secure overtime, and the last two in overtime to win), which might suggest successful exploitation of brief periods when they had the upper hand.

Overall, while both teams demonstrated commendable fight and resolve, FC Viktoria Marianske Lazne's ability to stage multiple comebacks and their superior disciplinary record perhaps made the difference in this nine-goal thriller.
