In the UEFA Euro 2024 face-off at Frankfurt Arena between Slovakia and Romania, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams displayed excellent control of the ball and commitment towards their defensive duties.

The single goal for the Slovakia side came from a successful collaboration between Ondrej Duda and Juraj Kucka with the former scoring at 23:58 and the latter providing the decisive assist in the first half. Despite this early goal, Slovakia struggled to reciprocate this offensive prowess throughout the match as they only had a total of four shots on target compared to Romania's five. This marks a deficiency in Slovakia's strike force which ought to be the focus of successive games.

The lack of goal conversion for Slovakia was also evident in their seven shots off target, three times they were offside and five corner kicks. These statistics reveal a Slovakian side that was proactive and incessantly driving for another goal that unfortunately eluded them.

In contrast, Romania equalized with a penalty goal by Razvan Marin in the 36th minute. The Romanian side had fewer wasted opportunities with four shots off target and only one offside. With only one corner kick and less offensive play than their counterparts, their disciplined defensive play kept them in the game.

Discipline wise, the Romanians had more yellow cards compared to Slovakia, four and one respectively. Andrei Andonie Burca, Nicusor Silviu Bancu, George Alexandru Puscas, and Edward Iordanescu from Romania all got booked for their aggressive plays. On the Slovakian side, only the goal scorer Ondrej Duda featured on the referee's book. Despite the high number of fouls, eleven from Slovakia and ten from Romania, no player was sent off.

Judging from these statistics, it's easy to see how the match ended in a stalemate. Both teams struggled in their offensive plays, but matched one another in their defensive duties. The Romanians capitalized on the penalty awarded to them and ensured they matched Slovakia's goal, despite having lesser shots on target. Slovakia will want to improve their accuracy in future games, given their number of shots off target and corner kicks that were not actualized.

Overall, the key factors impacting the match's outcome were the early goal coupled with Juraj Kucka's assist, Slovakia's missed opportunities, and the discipline issues that led to Romania's equalizing penalty.
