In the recent Finnish Cup match, played on 28th April 2023 at 15:30 EEST, Oulun Luistinseura (OLS) exerted full dominance on their rivals, JS Hercules, which is reflected by the 3-0 scoreline in favor of OLS.

One of the key metrics accentuating OLS's dominance was the Corner Kicks. OLS had a total of 11 corner kicks whereas, surprisingly, JS Hercules did not earn any corner kicks at all, revealing their lack of consistent attacking pressure around OLS’s goal. This is an unusual outcome in the unpredictable environment of football and indicates that JS Hercules struggled to assert their offensive patency.

OLS was very efficient in taking goal scoring opportunities, having scored the first goal right from the get-go at 04 seconds into the match, setting the momentum for the rest of the game. The second goal followed later in the first half at 26 minutes 20 seconds, while the third and final goal was netted deep into the second half, at 83 minutes 01 second. This sustained goal-scoring rhythm must have kept JS Hercules on the back foot throughout the match.

Moving onto disciplinary matters, JS Hercules were more errant, receiving three yellow cards while hosting OLS received only one. Interestingly, these yellow cards for JS Hercules were acquired later in the game (37 minutes 30 seconds in the first half and 69 minutes 10 seconds in the second half) which could suggest increasing frustration and possibly loss of composure, further reducing their chances of a comeback.

Both teams were fairly disciplined with the offside rule, having committed only one offside each, and fouls were also at a minimum, OLS were charged with 2 fouls, and JS Hercules with 3.

Even though this was one game, it’s perceivable that OLS were smarter and more disciplined in my opinion, with greater control of the game, and an undeniably superior offensive prowess based on the available statistics. It would be safe advice for bettors to take heed of this game's learning to inform their future betting decisions particularly when analysing matches within the Finnish Cup.
