In this dynamic Premier League 2 match between Leicester City U21 and Middlesbrough U21, Middlesbrough easily pocketed a 3-1 victory. To provide a more comprehensive understanding of the game, let us delve into the data which reveals a much deeper story than what meets the eye.

From the get-go, Middlesbrough U21 succeeded in overwhelming Leicester City U21 by scoring their first goal in the initial quarter of the game, only 18 minutes and 50 seconds in, setting the tone of the match from the get-go. This early goal seemed to destabilise the Leicester defence, allowing Middlesbrough to capitalise and put forth a dominant performance, resulting in two more goals, scored at 53:33 and 76:20.

Leicester City U21 managed to score their lone goal in the second half - a consolation goal at 86:28, yet it was too late to overturn the match's result. The home team seemed to struggle with ensuring shots were on target and paid the price by not being able to convert chances into goals.

Discipline was another area where the two teams contrasted. Middlesbrough U21, despite being the away team, showed less discipline, earning themselves two yellow cards, one in each half. Leicester City U21 managed to control their aggression better, procuring only a single caution early in the first half.

In terms of corner kicks, Middlesbrough dominated here as well, making six corner attempts compared to Leicester’s four. These set pieces offered Middlesbrough additional opportunities to increase their lead and maintain pressure on Leicester.

Offside decisions, however, kept Middlesbrough in check, with two instances of their players caught beyond the Leicester's backline, compared to one for the home side. Despite these minor setbacks, Middlesbrough used their attacking prowess to come out on top at the final whistle.

In conclusion, the strength of Middlesbrough's attack, their ability to maintain pressure and effectiveness in utilising set pieces made a considerable impact on the match outcome, comfortably seeing them through to a 3-1 victory. That being said, their lack of discipline is a factor the team will have to work on in the long run to continue their successful streak. Leicester City U21, on the other hand, will have to address their lack of offensive precision and a need for more robust defensive strategies.
