In the 2nd Division showdown between FC Roskilde and Thisted FC on the 14th of October 2023, clear advantages in some statistical categories could not ensure a win for the home team as Thisted overcame early pressure to claim a 3-2 victory in a frenetic battle of goals, discipline, and set pieces.

Thisted FC showed their clinical edge in front of the goal in the first half, with a stunning burst of three goals within just over 15 minutes. The goals on 21:24, 23:55, and 36:26 indicate efficient use of their opportunities, even though they could not maintain dominance in possession and territory. Meanwhile, FC Roskilde managed to pull one back at 38:16 creating a glimmer of hope at halftime.

Scoring didn't stop in the second half as Roskilde added one more on the 65:55 mark, but fell short in finding an equalizer. Despite being on the back foot in terms of goals, Roskilde had a significant advantage in the number of corner kick opportunities. With 12 corners as against 3 from Thisted FC, the home team tactically held the upper hand in terms of set piece threats.

A critical statistical standout was on the discipline. Thisted FC received three yellow cards during the match and found themselves under persistent scrutiny from the referee, This could have potentially disrupted their game-flow and opened opportunities for the home team to capitalize.

Despite this, Thisted’s early goal rush combined with solid defensive performance in the second half, where they prevented Roskilde from capitalising on their corner kick advantages, are key factors in their victory.

Overall, this match demonstrated that while possession and set piece advantage is important, efficiency in using opportunities, defensive solidity and maintaining discipline are also critical to determining the outcome. Thisted FC’s triumph is a testament to their effectiveness in these areas compared to FC Roskilde.
