This UEFA European Championship Qualification match between North Macedonia and England ended in a draw with a score of 1-1. Both teams displayed an impressive defensive and tactical performance throughout the game. However, it can be observed that the most significant factors in the match were the number of corner kicks and fouls from both teams.

North Macedonia took the lead with an early goal in the first half at the 40-minute mark, but failed to further capitalize on this advantage despite England's discipline breaching twice which reflected in the two yellow cards. England, however, were able to pull back a goal in the second half at the 58th minute balancing the scales again.

Statistical analysis of the game clearly shows that there was a high level of aggression, evident from the total of 27 fouls committed in the game (14 by North Macedonia, and 13 by England). However, despite this aggressive play, both the teams remarkably maintained their discipline as only 3 yellow cards were issued throughout the game.

England's dominance in the game was slightly more compared to North Macedonia, given the fact that they made 6 corner kicks as opposed to the 1 by Macedonia. This suggests a significantly higher offensive play by England throughout the match, yet they managed to convert only one of these opportunities into a goal.

Despite this domination, England was caught offside 3 times, revealing some gaps in their coordination, but this was not enough for North Macedonia to clinch the win.

The absence of any red cards indicates that despite the fouls, both teams were able to maintain a certain level of control and refrain from any outrageously aggressive behaviour that could have turned the tide of the match.

In conclusion, the two key factors making a significant impact on the game were the high number of fouls committed by both the teams and England's higher offensive play, as shown by the number of corner kicks. Despite these, both teams were effectively at par in terms of goals, which reflected the tight competition that took place. Any upcoming matches between the two sides should consider these factors for a more strategic and effective game play.
