In the UEFA European Championship Qualification, on 14th October 2023 16:00 EEST, Slovenia showcased an invigorating performance against Finland, ultimately clinching a triumphant victory with a scoreline of 3-0. The team carried out an attacking game right from the onset which was evident from the first goal scored 15 minutes, 59 seconds into the game, stunning the Finnish defense. They maintained this momentum, adding another goal at 27 minutes, 48 seconds, marking a strong lead in the first half.

Had Finland had a little more possession, the match would have exhibited a different scenario. Both teams were equal in terms of corner kicks with 4 each, suggesting equal chances to redirect the game towards the goal area, and offsides, only once each, indicating the disciplined defense line of both teams. However, the ball possession in terms of successful shots was skewed towards Slovenia, leading to three successful goals, two in the first half and one in the second half, at one hour, 32 minutes, and 16 seconds.

Both teams were almost equal in conduct violations with one yellow card each. However, Finland falls short in maintaining discipline as indicated by 12 of the fouls being committed by Finland as opposed to 8 by Slovenia. This high number of fouls may have created gaps in the Finnish defense, which Slovenia seems to have capitalized on effectively.

Despite relatively equal stats in corner kicks and offsides, Slovenian victory can be attributed to the goals it secured early on, which provided the team with a significant advantage and likely demoralized the Finnish team.

In terms of offensive play, Slovenia dominated the match with more goals, while maintaining a decent defensive stance with fewer fouls committed. As for the Finnish squad, a disciplined game with fewer fouls and better utilization of corner opportunities could have changed the game significantly.

In summary, Slovenia's aggressive onset and consistent offensive pressure in coordination with a disciplined defense largely contributed to the win against Finland. The Finnish side must reevaluate their defensive tactics and reinforce discipline in future games to prevent such defeats.
