In the Championship match that took place on 4th October 2023 at 19:00 EEST, Bristol City overcame Rotherham United in a closely contested match. Bristol City managed to edge their opponents by 2-1 after an intense 90-minute showdown.

Analyzing the goal statistics, it was clear that the match was an end to end battle. The defining goal happened late in the second half at 01:35:17 when Bristol City got their second goal. This late goal disarrayed Rotherham United, leaving them no time to bounce back. Interestingly, all of the game's goals were scored in the second half, indicating a more cautious approach in the first and more open play in the latter half.

It was a fairly balanced match indicated by equivalent corner kick statistics of 4 each. Set-pieces often play a huge part in any football match, but both the teams appeared to neutralize each other's threats in this area.

Rotherham United's offense, although it scored, was caught offside twice, while Bristol City was found lacking in this respect with three offsides. This shows the aggressive offensive play employed by both teams, pressing high which unfortunately resulted in a few missed opportunities due to offsides.

Looking at the disciplinary statistics, the distinct difference lies in the number of yellow cards received by each team. Bristol City got two yellow cards, perhaps indicating a more aggressive playing style or poor disciplinary control compared to Rotherham United’s single yellow. Undoubtedly, these penalties had their impact on the game's dynamics, shuffling the tactics and player positions.

In conclusion, Bristol City’s late goal sealed the game in their favor but the overall game was very evenly fought. It was the second half where the action truly unfolded, with all goals, majority of the yellow cards, and a heightened aggressive approach from both teams. Bettors would've favored Bristol City given their determination evident by the later winning goal, despite facing disciplinary issues. However, it's fair to say Rotherham United put up a tough fight but unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their chances.
