In the UEFA European Championship Qualification match between Luxembourg and Iceland held on the 08 of September 2023, the Luxembourg team saw a decisive victory of 3-1 against the Icelandic team. The victory was characterized by excellent teamwork and shot accuracy by the Luxembourg team.

Scoring their first goal just 8 minutes 29 seconds into the first half, Luxembourg appeared to be in control of the match. They further asserted this control with their second-goal scored by the 69th minute of the second half, maintaining a solid 2-0 lead. Although Iceland staged a striking comeback attempt with their only goal in the 87th minute of the match, Luxembourg quickly responded with their third-goal only a minute later, effectively sealing their win.

Statistically, while Iceland held a significant number of corner kicks at 6 compared to Luxembourg's 2, it didn't convert into a substantial offensive threat. Luxembourg not only managed to defend against Iceland's corner kicks but also effectively executed offside traps, as illustrated by their two successful offsides.

Despite a lesser number of corner kicks, Luxembourg's strike accuracy appeared to offset this factor, as evidenced in their high goal count, which suggests that they took full advantage of their offensive opportunities. Iceland, on the other hand, failed to capitalize on their corner kicks and did not make as effective use of their offensive chances.

Furthermore, the discipline of the teams during the match was also a noteworthy factor that impacted the match outcome. Iceland accrued more yellows cards and conceded more fouls than Luxembourg, reflected in their three-yellow card count and 17 fouls compared to Luxembourg's two-yellow cards and 8 fouls. Iceland's disciplinary issues culminated in a red card at an undisclosed period.

The higher number of fouls committed by Iceland indicates their struggle to contain Luxembourg's offensive threat and can be considered as a contributing factor to their inability to create chances and sustain control of the match. This consequently resulted in fewer scoring opportunities for Iceland and affected their overall match performance.

In conclusion, the victory can be attributed to Luxembourg's efficient execution of their offensive opportunities, effective defending against Iceland's corner kicks, successful offside tactics, and better game discipline. In contrast, Iceland's significant number of fouls, inability to capitalize on their advantages, and disciplinary issues ultimately led to their defeat.
