The UEFA European Championship Qualification match held on 20th June 2023, at 18:45 EEST, between the home team, Estonia, and the away team, Belgium, concluded in a decisive win for Belgium, with 3 goals to nil. Statistically, aside from the number of goals, there were a few factors that greatly influenced the outcome of the game.

The match began with solid aggression from both sides, evidenced by the elevated frequency of yellow cards in the first half. Belgium had two yellow cards at 7:30 minutes and 21:55 minutes of the match, while Estonia bagged two yellow cards at 22:55 and 26:10 minutes, followed by the third in the second half at 72:57 minutes. Despite this rigorous play, neither side faced any red cards.

However, Belgium turned their aggressive stance into an offensive one, as is clear by their scoring precisely within 3 minutes of each other in the first half—once at 36:50 minutes and the next at 39:27 minutes, thereby gaining an early upper hand. Estonia appeared to be on the back foot, struggling to meet the pace and accuracy of the Belgium attacks. The final nail in the coffin was struck by Belgium in the second half at 89:37 minutes, making the scoreline 3-0.

The aggressive gameplay from Estonia was also apparent from another statistic i.e the fouls committed. Estonia committed 13 fouls compared to Belgium's 5, which is more than twice the number of fouls committed by the latter. This indicates a significant defensive attempt by Estonia to stop Belgium's powerful attacks, but it was clear that Belgium was more composed and disciplined.

As for the number of offside, Estonia recorded 3 offsides versus 1 for Belgium, indicating that Estonia was trying to push forward and seek opportunity but was often caught out by the disciplined Belgian defense.

In terms of the distribution of the match attributes, the two teams were relatively evenly matched in corner kicks, with Belgium just slightly edging out Estonia with a total of 5 to 4. This was another aspect of Belgian supremacy, showing their exceptional ability to create more opportunities, and also their solid defensive techniques clearing away threats.

In conclusion, Belgium's superior composition and discipline were the central factors driving their victory. They effectively turned aggression into productive attacks and maintained defensive discipline, causing the Estonia team to commit multiple fouls and offsides without gaining any advantage. This match had been a textbook case of converting opportunities into victory through poise and control.
