In the Championship clash on the 2nd of January 2023, Hull City emerged victorious in an away match against Wigan Athletic by a wide margin of 4-1. A detailed analysis of the game reveals that Hull City effectively dominated Wigan Athletic and made the most out of their chances, scoring 4 out of their attempts.

Goals are often the deciding factor in football and in this match, it was no exception. Hull City took and maintained an early lead with a goal scored at only 14:37 minutes into the game, while Wigan Athletics managed to even the playing field in the second half at the 02:53-minute mark. Unfortunately for the home team, the tie didn’t last as Hull City launched a commanding offense scoring 3 additional goals within a 14-minute span (from 01:17:47 to 01:31:06).

Yellow cards are often an indicator of aggressive tactics and this match had three such incidents. The first two yellow cards were distributed in the first half, once to each team. This hints at an initially intense game, but the home team was unable to maintain that intensity, as suggested by the fact that there were no additional cards for Wigan athletic in the second half. Hull City managed to play a more intense game without crossing the line into dangerous fouling, as evidenced by only having one additional yellow card in the second half while scoring three times.

Corner kicks can often lead to scoring opportunities and in this match, it seemed to be a missed opportunity for the home team. Even though Wigan Athletic had 2 more corner kicks than Hull City, 7 to 5 respectively, they couldn’t convert their advantage into goals.

Fouls can disrupt the flow of the game and put teams at a disadvantage. Despite committing more fouls (10 compared to Hull City’s 6), Wigan Athletic was unable to utilize that aggression to their benefit, as they ended up losing the game with a wide margin.

In conclusion, Hull City’s game strategy, efficient use of opportunities and better control over their level of aggression were decisive factors towards their victory. Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, failed to convert their enhanced corner kicks and their aggresive game play into an effective strategy for success. Even though they matched Hull City's intensity in the first half, they couldn't maintain that momentum, leading to a decisive defeat in the second half.
