In a rather tightly contested UEFA Europa League match on November 09, 2023, Qarabag FK faced Bayer 04 Leverkusen, with the latter eking out a narrow 1-0 victory on enemy soil. The stats reveal an intriguing pattern that shaped the outcome of the match and warranted our in-depth analysis.

A sole goal came from the away team, Leverkusen in the second half at 01:33:16. This turned out to be a game-winner, the deciding factor of the game. Interesting to note, however, was the increased number of fouls and yellow cards in this match, suggesting a more intensive physical encounter on both sides.

Qarabag FK was booked four times with yellow cards, twice in the first half and twice in the second. The first two occurred within 10 minutes of each other, interrupting their momentum and possibly instigating a shift in their game strategy. Similarly, Bayer 04 Leverkusen was shown a yellow card thrice in the second half, two of which came within a minute of each other.

Twenty-two fouls were committed in total, with Leverkusen accounting for a slight majority (11). The high number of fouls from both teams hints at a disruptive game with frequent interruptions.

Regarding corner kicks, Leverkusen, securing one more corner than Qarabag FK (5-4), illustrated their slightly superior attack intent and pressure. Leverkusen's incisiveness, however, is questionable as they couldn’t capitalize on these set-piece opportunities.

Offsides came solely from the Leverkusen side, being called offside three times. This suggests either a high pressing strategy or difficulty evading Qarabag's offside traps. Qarabag FK didn't appear to have the same issue as they had no offsides during the entire game duration.

In conclusion, a combination of aggressive play, slightly superior attacking intent and the ability to stay disciplined when it mattered, proved to be the key for Bayer 04 Leverkusen's victory.

As for Qarabag FK, they need to work on their discipline and capitalizing on their corner opportunities if they hope for better outcomes in their future fixtures.
