In this thrilling Czech Cup encounter between home side, SK Steti and away team, FK Usti nad Labem, the away side managed to pick up a narrow 3-2 victory on 09 August. This game was largely defined by its goals, but other key statistical factors also played crucial roles in shaping the overall outcome.

In terms of goals scored, FK Usti nad Labem began the match with an aggressive approach. This was evident as they took an early 2-0 lead in the first half, with their initial goals arriving within the first 26 minutes. SK Steti, however, fought back bravely and managed to reduce their deficit to a 1-goal lead for FK Usti nad Labem before the half-time whistle, thus ending the first half at 2-1.

Despite a slower start to the second half, SK Steti managed to level things at 2-2. Their resurgence, however, was short-lived as the away side managed to score a third, which ultimately became the match-winning goal.

Discipline-wise, both teams shared an equal count of yellow cards (three each). However, the timing of SK Steti’s cards, especially the one coinciding with FK Usti’s first goal (just 2 seconds apart) could suggest a possible defensive disarray that was capitalized on by FK Usti. Additionally, they collected two red cards, giving FK Usti a numerical advantage for a certain duration of the match, which might have influenced the dynamics of the encounter.

In terms of corner kicks, FK Usti nad Labem were superior, winning 6 corners as compared to SK Steti’s 2. This statistic could underline FK Usti’s greater dominance in offensive play and constant pressure applied on SK Steti’s defence.

Offsides were evenly spread for both teams at 2 each, indicating the strictness of the defensive lines and the strategies deployed to catch the opposition attackers offside.

Summarily, FK Usti nad Labem’s early goal advantage combined with effective execution of offensive set-pieces (as seen with the higher corner count) seemed to be the difference between the two teams. Meanwhile, SK Steti possibly proved to be their worst enemies, with disciplinary issues arguably impacting their team’s cohesion at crucial moments, leading to their narrow loss against FK Usti nad Labem.
