In the Veikkausliiga competition dated 25th of August 2023, at 15:00 EEST, VPS hosted Kotkan Tyovaen Palloilijat in a thrilling match that saw the home team claim a triumphant 2-1 victory.

Despite both teams playing aggressively, evident in the foul count of 11-10 from VPS and KTP respectively, the decisive factors for the match outcome lay elsewhere. The standout aspect of the game was VPS's efficacy in capitalizing their goal scoring opportunities especially during the early minutes of each half, while also maintaining their discipline positioning- showcasing no offsides throughout the game.

This was made clear with the first goal recorded just over thirty-three minutes into the game by the home team. The second came soon after the second half began at fifty minutes and fifty-three seconds. This quick scoring pace notably disrupted the away side's rhythm, as could be seen with their increase in yellow cards, totaling to six, four of which were seen in the second half.

Meanwhile, KTP managed only to net one goal around sixty-five minutes into the second half, unable to level the score. Despite being awarded more corners, seven to four when compared to VPS, they weren't able to convert those set-pieces into goal scoring opportunities. Their sole offside indicated that they were trying to play ambitious forward passes, but weren't able to find success, and in fact, it could have been a telling sign of their desperation to pull back the game.

Another clear point of differentiation was the away team's inability to play clean football with their six yellow cards showing a lack of discipline, which may have affected their team's rhythm and focus negatively. VPS managed to keep their cool with only two yellow cards, despite a similar foul rate suggesting a tighter defensive line.

In conclusion, VPS's disciplined performance, strategic attack, particularly during the early periods of both halves, and control of the pitch played a significant role in securing their victory. On the other side, KTP needs to manage their aggression and make more of their offensive opportunities if they want to be successful in future games. Despite losing, KTP's performance should not be understated as they showed resilience and potential in their gameplay, paving the way for compelling rematches in the future.
