In a tightly contested Championship match on 14 September 2024, Derby County edged past Cardiff City with a slim 1-0 victory, courtesy of an early first-half goal. The home side's early advantage, established at the 27th minute, set the tone for the rest of the match. Their proactive approach within the first half allowed them to control the pace initially. This goal proved to be the significant differentiator, seeing Derby capitalizing on the momentum to press Cardiff.

Derby County demonstrated superior attacking precision with a notable seven corner kicks as opposed to Cardiff City's six. This slightly higher frequency indicates Derby's persistent pressure in Cardiff's defensive half. Additionally, while both teams committed fouls and received yellow cards, Cardiff City's disciplinary issues were more pronounced with three yellow cards in the second half compared to Derby's two over the entire match.

Cardiff City's struggle to stay onside contrasted with Derby's better strategic positioning, highlighting their inability to breach Derby's defense effectively. The two offside decisions against Derby also show their offensive intent but perhaps a slight lack of execution in the final third. Despite similar efforts in corner attempts, Cardiff’s attacking opportunities were less efficient, reflected in their inability to score.

The defensive solidity of Derby County was instrumental; their ability to prevent Cardiff from scoring while keeping a clean record of red cards played a crucial role. Despite Derby receiving two yellow cards and committing several fouls, their defensive discipline and tactical fouls were well-measured. Comparatively, Cardiff’s three yellow cards in a short span suggest frustration and loss of composure, disrupting their overall performance.

In conclusion, Derby County’s early goal, effective use of set-pieces, and strategic defensive measures led to their victory. Cardiff's inability to capitalize on their opportunities, coupled with their disciplinary lapses, underscored a significant drawback in their campaign on this occasion.
