The thrilling Cup clash on 11th February 2024 between Ekenas IF and Inter Turku ended with a decisive victory for Inter Turku. Despite the eleven yellow card events, the match itself was a thoroughly engaging test of skill, strategy, and physical strength—one that ultimately saw Inter Turku leave with a 3-1 victory on enemy soil.

Right from the outset, Inter Turku gained an early advantage at 10:17 during the first half, setting the tone for the rest of the game resulting in Ekenas IF finding themselves playing catch-up. The away team further intensified the pressure by scoring another goal, 54:25 into the second half. Notably, Ekenas IF did manage to claw one back at 65:03 but it proved to be their sole consolation before the final blow by Inter Turku making the scoreline read 1-3 at 82:32.

From a disciplinary perspective, Inter Turku took the brunt of the referee’s admonitions with 3 yellow cards compared to none for the home team. However, this did not appear to significantly impact their aggression or drive, and no players were expelled from the match.

Interestingly, Ekenas dominated when it came to corner kicks with a total of 8 attempts from the corner flag. This suggests strong pressure on Inter Turku’s defense and goalkeeper, yet Ekenas was ultimately unable to convert this pressure into goals. On the other hand, Inter Turku only managed 4 corner kicks, but were more efficient, capitalizing on open play and mistakes to press their advantage.

Offsides also saw an interesting distribution with Ekenas called offside 5 times while Inter Turku were caught offside 3 times—another indication of the home team’s frequent and determined, albeit often unsuccessful, efforts to penetrate the away team's defensive lines.

In summary, despite having less corner kicks and more offsides, Inter Turku managed to perform better in the match. Their strength lied in realizing more opportunities into goals. While Ekenas IF dominated in corner kicks and pressured the opponents, they were less effective in utilizing their chances, a big factor leading to their downfall.
