Middlesbrough's 2-1 victory over Oxford United was defined by efficient set-piece utilization and disciplined play. The home team capitalized on their greater number of corner kicks, totaling 11, which played a significant role in maintaining offensive pressure and led to their equalizer and eventual winning goal. Conversely, Oxford United struggled with only 5 corners, limiting their ability to sustain attacks and penetrate Middlesbrough’s defense consistently.

Oxford United took an early lead, suggesting initially sharp play but ultimately faltered in their discipline, receiving two yellow cards in the second half. These cards, occurring at crucial moments, impeded Oxford's ability to play aggressively and adapt to Middlesbrough's increasing dominance. Despite Oxford's pressing having been initially effective, their offensive momentum dwindled significantly in the later stages of the match, indicated by their lesser corners and only one recorded offside.

Teamwork and disciplined defense were clear strengths for Middlesbrough, evidenced by their avoidance of any yellow cards despite their risky high-pressure attacking strategy, which saw them caught offside twice. Their resilience was critical in rebounding quickly in the second half and then capitalizing on Oxford's defensive lapses. This strategic discipline in maintaining control and minimizing fouls was a key factor in Middlesbrough overturning Oxford's early advantage and securing the win.
