The DBU Pokalen match on August 9th, 2023 between AC Horsens and SonderjyskE provided an intense and tactical gameplay, witnessed with the display of skill and solid defending. Final match score was a narrow 2-1 victory for the away team, SonderjyskE, a close contest where small details played significant roles.

SonderjyskE demonstrated an in-depth effective offensive strategy with their two goals, scored first at 25:40 of the first half and the winner, a decisive goal at 82:12 of the second half. AC Horsens, however, opened the scoreline at 08:33, but could not capitalize on the momentum, and eventually, their defense fell short twice.

The most critical statistical factor impacting the match outcome are the yellow cards and fouls. AC Horsens received two yellow cards, one in each half at 38:23 and 88:32 respectively, alongside committing 18 fouls. The high number of fouls arguably disrupted their flow of play and affected gameplay discipline, providing SonderjyskE with some potentially decisive free-kick advantages. Conversely, SonderjyskE committed only nine fouls and didn't receive any yellow card – an impressive show of disciplined play which likely contributed to their win.

Looking at both teams' set piece statistics, SonderjyskE leads with four corner kicks, one more than AC Horsens'. Though none of these kicks directly resulted in a goal, they gave the away team more scoring opportunities, hence putting pressure on AC Horsens' defense.

The offside trap was another noteworthy playmaking tool in this match. While AC Horsens topped the list with five offsides showing an eager forward line, it also potentially indicates a lack of timing in their attack. In contrast, SonderjyskE, with only two offsides, displayed an efficient synchrony and better communication within their forward line, which may partly explain goal scoring difference.

To summarize, SonderjyskE's disciplined play, efficiently synchronized forward line, and better set-piece strategy gave them the edge over AC Horsens. On the other hand, AC Horsens suffered due to their high foul count and lack of discipline, evidencing by two yellow cards and poor timing in their attack resulting in multiple offsides. This match truly underlined the adage that football is indeed a game of details.
