Compared to the away team, AZ Alkmaar, the home team, was simply stellar, which is clearly reflected in the fact that they eventually claimed victory beating HSK Zrinjski Mostar by one goal to zero in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

One of the most striking data points is the difference in the number of corner kicks between the two teams. AZ Alkmaar managed to accumulate a phenomenal sum of 21 corners, whereas Zrinjski Mostar only had 2. This massive disparity divulges the outright dominance of Alkmaar in terms of offensive play and territorial control. The away team, with their meager corner count, seem to have struggled significantly to penetrate the Alkmaar defensive line and create scoring opportunities.

By looking at the number of fouls committed by both teams, the home side appears more aggressive in their approach to maintain control of the match, with 10 fouls recorded against them compared to the away side's 4. Given the outcome of the match, it showcases the Alkmaar's ability to use a pressing defense style without crossing the line into dangerous play, evidenced by Alkmaar having only one yellow card against them, the same amount as Zrinjski Mostar despite committing significantly more fouls.

While both teams were caught outside the same number of times, three each, it proves that both teams were trying to breach the opponent's defensive line in the hope of getting a clear shot on goal. This indicates significant attempts from both sides to break through one another's defenses, but with AZ Alkmaar being the only one succeeding.

The golden moment that turned the tide in favor of AZ Alkmaar came in the second half at 58:14 when they netted in their lone goal of the match. This goal was the end product of their intense offensive pressure reflected in the large number of corner kicks, and their aggressive yet controlled defensive strategy which contained the opposite team's onslaught.

To summarize, AZ Alkmaar were aggressive and dominant in their approach, managing to convert their high offensive pressure into the sole goal of the match. HSK Zrinjski Mostar, on the other hand, struggled with the penetrating power of their offensive line and under the relentless pressure of the Alkmaar team, they failed to score, eventually losing the match.
