In the Kakkonen match held on 13 August 2023, Grankulla IFK logged a convincing 3-1 victory over the visiting team Pallo-Iirot. Statistically, the game brought several interesting factors into play that significantly influenced the outcome.

Starting with goals, the match came to life in the second half with all 4 goals being netted post interval. Grankulla IFK opened the scoring 51 minutes into the second half before Pallo-Iirot quickly equalised just two minutes later. However, the home team showed resilience with two more goals in the 78th and 95th minute, sealing a victory.

The match was also marked with a high number of disciplinary actions. Both teams played a physical game with Grankulla IFK receiving 4 yellow cards and Pallo-Iirot picking up 2. The yellow cards for home team were evenly distributed with two in the first half and two in the second, while the away team picked up one in each half. But the aggressive defensive strategy of the home side did not cost them the match. No red cards were issued indicating that in spite of the aggressive play, the match was largely clean in terms of extreme foul play.

In terms of set-piece opportunities, Pallo-Iirot maintained a significant dominance with 10 corner kicks as opposed to Grankulla IFK’s 6. Yet, they could not utilize these chances to their advantage and convert them into goals. This situation suggests they were unable to turn the opportunities into threats on goal which affected their offensive performance.

Finally, there were huge differences in the offside count. The home team was flagged offside only once throughout the match whereas the away team was caught offside 5 times. This statistic implies that Pallo-Iirot's attempts to play a high line and beat the offside trap of the home team resulted in failure more often than not.

In conclusion, Grankulla IFK showcased superior finishing and defensive discipline that helped them convert goals and managed to hold onto their lead, despite the aggressive gameplay. On the other hand, Pallo-Iirot struggled to take advantage of their set pieces and their advanced offensive line tactics, which were key factors to their defeat.
