The Regionalliga North East football match on 21 October 2023 between Energie Cottbus and Carl Zeiss Jena ended in favor of the away team, with a solid 2-0 victory. The result was mainly influenced by their better efficiency in front of the goal, breaking down the opposition defense in the second half .

Though Energie Cottbus managed to keep the match goalless in the first half, their defense capitulated in the second half. Their goalkeeper made only 3 saves compared to 4 from the opposition, which had a significant impact on the overall score.

When it comes to shot accuracy, Carl Zeiss Jena edged slightly with 5 shots on target compared to Cottbus's 4. Both teams had an equal number of shots off target (3), illustrating a closely contested match in terms of attacking output.

The lack of yellow and red cards from either team demonstrated a game played in good spirit, but it also indicated a lack of aggressive play. With just 4 fouls committed by the home-side and 3 by the away-side, it's clear that both sides emphasized on maintaining possession and playing a cleaner game.

Corner kicks, as a measure of attacking pressure, were relatively low for both sides indicating a balanced battle in midfield. With both teams earning almost an equal number of corner kicks, (Energie Cottbus with 2 and Carl Zeiss Jena with 3), this demonstrates tightly contested possession battles in both halves.

An interesting metric was the offside count. Carl Zeiss Jena had been caught offside 4 times compared to just 1 for Energie Cottbus. This shows Jena's aggressive forward play, persistently pressing Cottbus' backline throughout the match.

The game saw an equal number of substitutions from both sides, highlighting the similar tactics of both managers aiming to alter the course of the match through fresh legs and perhaps different strategies. However, evidently, the changes made by Carl Zeiss Jena proved to be more effective.

In conclusion, while Energie Cottbus and Carl Zeiss Jena had a tightly contested match in many respects, it was Jena's effectiveness in front of the goal during the second half and higher number of shots on target which gave them an edge, securing them a 2-0 victory.
