This coverage gives us well-detailed statistics of the UEFA Champions League match held on the 24th of October, 2023 between Inter Milan and Red Bull Salzburg at San Siro Stadium. The match's final outcome was a tight victory for the home team, Inter Milan, who managed to put 2 goals in Salzburg's net with their opponents replying with just one.

The match was not short on goals or action. The first goal of the match came fairly early at the 18:42 minute mark when Alexis Sanchez successfully netted the ball into Salzburg's posts. This goal, like many others, came from a successful assist by Henrikh Mkhitaryan. However, Red Bull Salzburg was not silent for long as they managed to level the score within the 57:01 minute mark. Oscar Gloukh, with an assist from Maurits Kjaergaard, equalized for Salzburg. However, their joy was short-lived as Inter Milan took the lead again at the 63:06-minute mark thanks to a calm penalty execution from Hakan Calhanoglu.

In terms of good offensive play and shots on goal, Red Bull Salzburg shone the brightest. The visitors had six shots on target compared to the hosts' three shots on target. However, Inter Milan compensated for this with their sharp precision, making each of their few shots count. They also launched an impressive 11 shots off-target. Conversely, Salzburg couldn't convert their control into goals and had 7 shots off target.

Concerning set-pieces, both teams had four corner kicks each. Inter Milan found themselves in an offside position twice, while Salzburg demonstrated better control with zero offsides. One could argue that Salzburg's lack of offside infractions attests to a better team synchrony and control over their offensive maneuvers.

However, Salzburg was also more aggressive, committing 15 fouls compared to Inter Milan's 3. This aggressive gameplay earned them two yellow cards, one given to Roko Simic at the 22:56-minute mark and the other to Lucas Gourna Douath at the 28:48 minute. Inter Milan received just a single yellow card, which was given to Henrikh Mkhitaryan at the 27:30-minute mark. Luckily, no red cards were issued throughout the match.

In conclusion, both teams demonstrated impressive teamwork and performance, yet Inter Milan was able to capitalize on their fewer opportunities and commit fewer fouls. This, combined with Calhanoglu's second-half penalty, seems to have tipped the scales in their favor, culminating in a home victory. Salzburg's high number of fouls and shots off targets could be highlighted as the key factors that cost them the game.
