The match between PK Keski-Uusimaa and KPV Kokkola on 13 July 2024 was a thrilling contest that ended with a narrow 4-5 victory for KPV Kokkola. Statistically, the game was a closely fought battle, with both teams displaying impressive attacking prowess and relatively balanced corner kicks, each earning four. However, it was KPV Kokkola’s efficiency and early dominance that significantly contributed to their victory.

KPV Kokkola seized the initiative early, with their first goal coming at 28 minutes, and they continued to capitalize on their momentum with two more goals in quick succession before halftime. The home team managed to equalize shortly after KPV’s second yellow card at the 34th minute, but KPV responded decisively, scoring twice more within the next seven minutes to lead 1-3 by halftime. This early surge and efficient finishing highlighted their strong offensive unit, which eventually cemented their lead despite PK Keski-Uusimaa’s spirited comeback attempts.

In the second half, KPV maintained their offensive pressure, swiftly adding another two goals in a span of just three minutes after the hour mark. Although PK Keski-Uusimaa displayed remarkable resilience by netting three goals in the latter stages of the match, bringing the score to a nail-biting 4-5, they were unable to find the equaliser. The match was characterized by KPV’s superior finishing, backed by creating fewer, albeit more effective, scoring opportunities.

The discipline and control exhibited by KPV were evident despite their three yellow cards, compared to PK Keski-Uusimaa’s single yellow card. However, PK Keski-Uusimaa’s composure in the face of adversity, especially after KPV’s third yellow card and their own yellow card shortly thereafter, was commendable. Home side's lone offside incident compared favorably with KPV's two offsides, indicating more disciplined attacking plays despite the final score.

The substitutions and reactions to yellow cards also played a role, as KPV players managed to avoid escalating to red cards, showing a calculated aggressiveness. Overall, while PK Keski-Uusimaa displayed strong teamwork and tenacity, KPV Kokkola's early dominance and superior clinical finishing were decisive factors in their victory.
