In the Regionalliga Bayern match that took place on July 22, 2023, at 11:00 EEST, FC Eintracht Bamberg took on FV Illertissen. Notably, Bamberg came out victorious, clinching a narrow win of 1-0.

Notwithstanding the scored goals as the apparent match decider, it wasn't just the singular goal that lead to the home team's triumph. A deeper dive into the underlying match data unleashes the performance patterns that principally dictated the game’s dynamics.

Despite Illertissen earning a higher number of corner kicks (6) compared to Eintracht Bamberg (1), they weren't able to capitalize on these opportunities to tilt the result in their favor. The home team's defense proved well organized and resilient in these set-piece scenarios.

The match was relatively fair-played, given that there were no red cards issued. However, the influence of the yellow cards on the game’s rhythm can’t be overlooked. Both teams had players cautioned, with Bamberg receiving 2 yellow cards and Illertissen, 3. Importantly, all these cards were given in the second half, which potentially compelled both teams to employ a more cautious approach, thereby impacting the intensity of the game during those minutes.

Notably, the only goal of the game came pretty early, during the first half, 33 mins 10 secs into the match. This early lead likely allowed Bamberg to adopt a play style more focused on containment and preserving the lead for the rest of the match, which they successfully did until the final whistle.

Finally, the timing of the yellow cards can’t be dismissed either. Illertissen’s third yellow card at 92 mins 44 secs - at the climax of the match - likely led to an added degree of hesitation in their attacking urge, and closing minutes strategy disruption, which could have been their best possibility of an equalizer.

In conclusion, while the 1-0 scoreline suggests a narrow battle, the statistical inputs paint a picture of a match whereby Bamberg capitalized on their early lead and used tactical discipline to keep Illertissen at bay, backed by a solid defensive performance in set-piece scenarios. The yellow cards distribution in the second half had evident effects on the dynamics of the match and worked more in favor of the home team.
