In the Veikkausliiga match that transpired on 15th April 2023 at 10:00 EEST, FC Ilves played at home against Inter Turku emerging with a narrow win of 2-1. A detailed analysis of the match's statistical records provides a deeper look into the events leading to this result.

While the primary factor influencing a match outcome is the number of goals scored, it's noteworthy how these goals occurred. FC Ilves scored their first goal right at the start of the game, at the 17th minute. This was a blow to Inter Turku's morale. However, Inter Turku recovered quickly by levelling the scores at the 37th minute. Scoring so soon after the first goal points towards Inter Turku's resilience and maintains the tension of the match. Nevertheless, FC Ilves quickly regained their advantage, scoring a second goal at the 43rd minute.

Given that all of the goals were scored in the first half, it seems the second half of the match was not as eventful as far as scoring was concerned. Both teams played a rather defensive game post half-time, as seen from the increase in fouls committed and yellow cards received, especially by FC Ilves who committed 4 more fouls and received 3 yellow cards versus Inter Turku's 1.

Inter Turku seemed to have a slight edge in offensive play shown by their 6 corner kicks against Ilves' solitary corner kick. Yet, they only managed one goal. This suggests that while they may have dominated ball possession and presented a persistent threat, they could not capitalize on these opportunities on target.

Visually, FC Ilves demonstrated a better defensive effort as indicated by the more fouls committed - 14 compared to Inter Turku's 10. This indicates a more aggressive defensive strategy by FC Ilves as they appeared to consistently disrupt Inter Turku's advances.

Moreover, the late yellow cards picked up by FC Ilves could indicate a strategy to disrupt the tempo of the game and maintain their lead. They might have adopted a more cautious approach to maintain their position guarding their one-goal lead closely. No red card was seen on either side, which implies that while the match was competitive, it did not cross into overtly aggressive territory.

Overall, FC Ilves' early scoring, robust defensive posture marked by a higher number of fouls, and strategic time play via yellow cards appeared to provide them a slight edge over Inter Turku, evidenced in the 2-1 scoreline. Even though both teams showed good display, FC Ilves seemed to be more efficient both in offensive and defensive metrics that led to their win.
