In the Premium Liiga match on the 8th of July 2023, FC Kuressaare came away as the clear victors in a 3-1 win against JK Tallinna Kalev. The statistical factors suggest that FC Kuressaare had the upper hand throughout the match.

Two crucial first-half goals by FC Kuressaare at the 33rd and the 48th minute set the pace of the encounter. The early goal, just after 33 minutes, may have taken JK Tallinna Kalev by surprise and could have upset their game plan. After that, the second goal just before the half-time interval added to the home team's woes. Both of these were significant factors that gave Kuressaare a distinct edge, enabling them to control the game's rhythm and set the tempo for the rest of the game.

During the second half, FC Kuressaare scored their third goal in the 87th minute, following this, JK Tallinna Kalev managed to net one just 4 minutes later. However, the late efforts from JK Tallinna were not enough to change the match's pending outcome.

Fouls and disciplinary actions also played a significant role in the game's progression. The Home team had three yellow cards as opposed to the Away team’s two, making a case for frayed nerves or possibly ineffective team discipline. One cannot overlook the timing of the first yellow card, which came just 30 seconds before the first goal, this perhaps indicating a disruption in the home team's focus.

From a set-piece perspective, both teams had an equal number of corner kicks registering at 6 each. While this did not produce significant differences in goal count, it showcases a balanced offensive effort from both sides. However, it's clear that FC Kuressaare was more effective and efficient in capitalizing on the chances they were presented with. Kuresaare’s ability in transferring possession into goals was evidently superior to that of Kalev. Additionally, their early goals likely put them into a comfortable position to control the game, redistribute play, and force their adversaries to play catch-up.

In conclusion, despite a tough, physically demanding encounter with multiple cards issued and a fairly balanced offensive show, FC Kuressaare proved superior, not just by scoring more goals, but in their effective utilization of the key opportunities during the match, thereby securing a decisive 3-1 victory.
