The Finnish Cup match between Ekenas IF II and Tampereen Peli-Pojat-70 on May 7, 2023, proved to be a thrilling encounter where Ekenas just managed to edge out Tampereen with a score of 3-2 in favour of the home team. Goal timings suggest a kind of rhythmic retaliation and not a single domination by any team.

The first opening was capitalised by Ekenas only 16 minutes 25 seconds into the game. Despite this early setback, Tampereen managed to turn the tables and leveled the field at 30 minutes 54 seconds into the match. However, Ekenas managed to regain the lead 59 minutes 36 seconds into the second half. Tampereen pulled back once again, leveling the score at 2-2 with a goal at 1 hour 28 minutes and 59 seconds. The match was finally sealed by Ekenas with a late goal in the second half at 1 hour 32 minutes and 45 seconds.

While both teams showed considerable agility and skill, their aggressive approach to the game was quite evident in the number of yellow cards allotted. Ekenas bagged 4 yellow cards in total, whereas Tampereen garnered 3. Most of these yellow cards came in the first half with 3 from Ekenas and 2 from Tampereen. Aggressive play didn’t lead to any dismissals, with no red cards for either side.

The set-piece tactics were quite in favour of Tampereen, as they managed to secure 5 corner kicks compared to a single one for Ekenas. Despite this numeric advantage in corners though, Tampereen couldn't capitalise enough to mould the match outcome.

The only area Ekenas outperformed Tampereen was in offsides, where the home team kept its lines clean with zero, while the away side was caught out of position 3 times. This could depict Ekenas’ superior understanding of game flow and strategic build-up.

In conclusion, the match was an evenly poised competition between Ekenas IF II and Tampereen Peli-Pojat-70, marked by intense action, yellow cards, and retaliatory goals. The decisive factor appears to be the superior timing of Ekenas' goals and perhaps their better discipline in avoiding offside. Despite losing, Tampereen showcased excellent exploitation of corner kicks opportunity. From a betting perspective, this match underlined the importance of considering teams' disciplinary records, capability to capitalise set pieces, and reading of the game.
