In the DBU Pokalen competition, the match that took place on December 9, 2023, 18:00 EEST saw FC Copenhagen emerge victoriously with a 2-1 win against Silkeborg IF. FC Copenhagen's aggressive gameplay and superior control over the field, demonstrated by their high corner kicks count, was a major factor that tilted the game in their favor.

The home team, Silkeborg IF, began in a rather defensive mode evident through fewer fouls committed (3 compared to FC Copenhagen's 8) and just one attempted corner kick throughout the match. However, their conservative efforts fell short when FC Copenhagen maintaining a solid attack, scored two goals in the first half making the most of their striking opportunities. The timing of the goals, at 36:19 and 46:52, suggests that FC Copenhagen was able to break through the home team's defense towards the later part of the half.

Silkeborg IF, however, displayed resilience as they made a comeback in the second half with a goal at 68:24 but failed to make further headway. FC Copenhagen exhibited a controlled aggression which reflected in their 11 corner kicks, indicating their sustained attempts to score. Despite the equal number of offsides (2 each), Silkeborg IF couldn't capitalize on their opportunities.

In terms of disciplinary actions, both teams received equal amounts of yellow cards (2 each), but it's important to note that FC Copenhagen’s second yellow card came after Silkeborg IF's comeback goal. While this could suggest some loss of discipline from the away team in the latter stages of the match, it didn't alter their lead.

Overall, while Silkeborg IF showed promise in the latter part of the match, FC Copenhagen's consistent and aggressive gameplay cornered the home team and was instrumental in their triumph. Despite the fouls and the yellow cards, FC Copenhagen maintained better match control leading them to a well-deserved victory. From a betting perspective, this match shows the value of looking at aggressive gameplay and territorial control via metrics like corner kicks beyond just possession and fouls.
