In this Championship fixture on 29th of March, 2024, Hull City hosted Stoke City at 15:00 EEST. Though Hull dominated in corner kicks (8 to Stoke's 5), it wasn't enough to secure a win. Stoke City managed a victorious 2-0 outcome.

Stoke City first rippled the net early in the second half at 01:08:58, and again later at 01:32:30, both goals surprisingly coming despite Stoke being at a disadvantage in terms of the possession battle, demonstrated by a lesser amount of corner kicks. These two goals proved vital in enabling Stoke City to secure the win, and probably reflect the effectiveness of Stokes’ attacking and finishing strategy.

Despite Stoke's success, there was a considerable amount of infringement happening, with Stoke City accumulating four yellow cards. Interestingly, all these yellow cards seem not to have impacted the overall performance of the team negatively. Two were issued in the first half at 00:27:53 and 00:17:27, while another followed at 00:32:29. The last yellow card was given in the second half at 01:13:14. Hull City had a cleaner match, with zero yellow cards, but this disciplined defense did not translate into a defensive stronghold.

In terms of offsides, Hull City was found offside twice while Stoke was offside only once. This suggests a more disciplined attacking strategy on Stoke's part, despite their lesser corner kicks, while Hull may have been attempting to compensate their lack of goal-scoring with a more aggressive attacking strategy that resulted in a higher number of offsides.

In conclusion, Stoke City emerged as victors, finding goals in the second half despite having fewer corners. Their discipline upfront in regulating their offside infringements also seemed to have worked favorably for them, irrespective of the numerous yellow cards they received. Hull City, on the other hand, despite having a disciplined game in terms of fouls, couldn't translate that and their higher number of corner kicks into a winning game. This game serves as a reminder that advantageous statistics do not always translate into favorable outcomes.
