On the face of the statistics, the 1-0 victory of Naestved BK over Hobro IK in the 1st Division match held on 8th October 2023 appears close fought. However, a deeper diving into the numbers reveals significant statistical factors that impacted this match.

In terms of goals, Naestved BK held a 100% conversion rate scoring 1 goal throughout the match, taken in second half, just 50 minutes in. This would have positively impacted the morale and energy of the team for the remainder of the match. On the contrast, Hobro IK were unable to find the back of the net, despite some threatening attempts.

Looking at the disciplinary record, both teams were booked; however, Hobro IK could be seen struggling to maintain discipline with three yellow cards compared to Naestved BK’s two, with two of Hobro's yellow cards being issued in the first half, potentially influencing their game strategy on field. This possibly resulted in a more cautious play from Hobro, limiting their opportunities to score.

Corner kicks can be quite determinant, particularly in close-encounter matches like this one. Despite trailing on the goal front, Hobro IK showed offensive gameplay, winning 6 corners; twice as much as Naestved BK. However, their inability to convert these set-pieces into goals was a disadvantage.

One noteworthy data point was the absolute zero number of fouls committed by Naestved BK throughout the match, indicating a disciplined and on-target gameplay, unlike Hobro IK, that committed a single foul. This shows a substantial difference in defensive strategies of both teams. However, Naestved BK committed a single offside offense, slightly denting their otherwise disciplined play.

In conclusion, Naestved BK displayed a disciplined, focused, and effective strategy managing to convert their solitary goal scoring opportunity, maintain noticeably lower fouls and yellow cards, comparatively which gave them an edge. Meanwhile, despite a more aggressive offensive strategy from Hobro IK, indicated by the larger number of corner kicks, their poor execution marked by the 0 goals and 3 yellow cards, proved costly.

These numbers not only reflect the outcome of this particular match, but they also provide critical pointers for both teams to enhance their forthcoming strategies.
