In the exciting match between VPS and AC Oulu that took place on 17th February 2024, the teams fought fiercely and ended in a 1-1 draw. Based strictly on the statistical data provided, both sides showed commendable performances with negligible foul play; as there were no red or yellow cards recorded for both teams.

VPS clawed away at their opponent's defense with 11 total shots, six of which were on target. Their aggressive tactics yielded results, by placing a significant load on AC Oulu's goalkeeper who had to make a total of 5 saves in the match, two more than VPS's goalkeeper. VPS also showed a slightly higher understanding of the game with two assists as compared to Oulu’s one, indicating better teamwork and coordination. On the other hand, VPS committed more fouls (10) than AC Oulu (8), which disrupted their flow of gameplay at times.

AC Oulu showed resilience by matching VPS on many fronts despite having fewer shots on target (4). They got to the attacking third a good amount of time, indicated by their higher corner kick count of 5, one more than VPS. The match saw Oulu making fewer substitutions, which could indicate a more stable and less experimental game strategy from them.

The higher number of shots on target by VPS did contribute to their goal but their greater number of fouls might have been disruptive for them and kept them from securing a second goal. The key factor for AC Oulu's goal was likely due to the greater number of corner kicks, which suggests that they had more opportunities to attack from advantageous positions.

Each team's offsides were relatively low, indicating that both teams looked to maintain solid defensive lines which were successful in curtailing their opponent's attacking plays.

In conclusion, both the teams showed determined performances and this resulted in a draw, but the more aggressive style of VPS might have been detrimental to their cause by causing more disruptions due to fouls. Oulu kept a more controlled game which helped them avoid giving VPS more chances. Their comparative efficiency from corners also helped them secure a draw from fewer shots on target.
