In the Ykkonen football competition on 7th October 2023, SalPa could not outclass JaPS at home, resulting in a 2:1 defeat. It’s essential to analyze the key points of the match for a deeper understanding of what factors might have led to this result.

First of all, the game's pivotal moments were the goals. JaPS took the lead early in the match during the first half at 42 minutes and 19 seconds, starting off with a significant psychological advantage, which might have put SalPa on the back foot.

However, SalPa did not capitulate, and shortly after the break, at 50 minutes and 29 seconds into the second half, they equalized the score. The game turned into a more intense competition. But JaPS managed to regain the lead within a short span, scoring their second goal at the 54th minute and 8 seconds, which eventually proved to be the decider of the match.

Though SalPa had more opportunities to score as reflected in their higher number of corner kicks (8 to JaPS's 2), their conversion rate of these chances was not impactful. The goals scored during the early second half showed that JaPS was more efficient, by striking quickly after the break and making the most of their opportunities.

On the discipline aspect, both teams were on equal footing with each having received two yellow cards, signifying a well-contested, aggressive game from both sides. Both teams also managed to keep 11 players on the pitch, as no red cards were issued.

Another minor but critical element to note is that SalPa was caught offside once during the match. While this might not have been a decisive factor, it certainly could have been an opportunity lost, especially in a closely contested match like this one.

It was notable that JaPS was apparently playing a well-disciplined game in terms of maintaining their line and managing to stay onside throughout the match. They also appeared to keep a strong defensive line as can be seen from the lower number of corners conceded.

To sum up, key factors affecting the outcome were the timing and effectiveness of JaPS in capitalizing on their scoring opportunities, the superiority of their defense which stifled SalPa's efforts, and the effective management of their disciplined line preventing any off-side calls. Despite SalPa's multiple attempts via corner kicks, JaPS's ultimate efficiency in capitalizing on fewer chances proved to be the determining factor.
