In the Finnish Cup match held on April 27, 2023, between Kuopion Elo and FC Vaajakoski, some interesting statistical factors reveal the tale behind the final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of the home team.

Goals scored by the home team totalled to three, with the first goal in the 16th minute equalising the early lead by FC Vaajakoski, which had come in the 24th minute of the game. The defining moments, however, took place towards the end of the first half and the early stages of the second. Kuopion Elo intensified their attack and successfully netted the ball in the 39th minute and the 60th minute, securing a comfortable lead. It's noteworthy that none of these attempts were made from corner kicks as only three were awarded to the home team.

Interestingly, despite having four corner kicks, FC Vaajakoski struggled to convert these opportunities into goals. One reason is clearly the stringent defence by Kuopion Elo, frustrating the away side's attacks.

The home team exhibited higher aggressiveness in their gameplay, committing 10 fouls, more than twice as many as FC Vaajakoski, who only committed 4 fouls. This intense and assertive play could have contributed to Kuopion Elo's dominance, putting FC Vaajakoski on the defensive, and giving little room for the latter to organise counterattacks.

In terms of discipline, both teams showed reasonable restraint with only one yellow card each issued during the match and no red cards, hinting that both teams aimed to keep their plays clean and disciplined.

Lastly, the home team had one offside, which might have potentially cost them an extra goal. However, more importantly, this reflects aggressive positioning in the attack. In contrast, FC Vaajakoski didn't have any offsides, an indicator of their more conservative and disciplined approach in attack.

From the shot totals, goals scored, fouls committed, and other in-game statistics, it's evident that the home team's offensive and assertive strategy paid off against FC Vaajakoski's more constrained approach.
