In yesterday's Regionalliga West match between SV Rodinghausen (home team) and 1. FC Duren (away team), SV Rodinghausen managed a commanding 2-0 victory despite statistical elements that could suggest otherwise. The final score was clearly influenced by goal timing, discipline on the field, and the effectiveness of counter attacking.

The home team's first goal came early in the first half at 14:01, giving SV Rodinghausen a mental advantage early in the game. This was followed by a strategically placed second goal, scored at 64:28 in the second half, which further asserted the home team's control and destabilized the away team.

Interestingly, while 1. FC Duren had utmost control in set-pieces - having won 7 corner kicks as compared to Rodinghausen's single one - they failed to convert any into a goal. The statistic might be indicative of, both, Duren's heavy reliance on set-pieces to score and Rodinghausen's robust defense in handling such situations.

Discipline-wise, SV Rodinghausen received three yellow cards, two in the first half and one in the second half. This indicates the intensity of the home team's game and their determination to secure the win. On the other hand, 1. FC Duren acquired a red card, reducing their on-field strength and, thus, their chances of scoring and defending effectively.

A striking factor in the match was Rodinghausen's strategic approach to offside. They were caught offside on 5 occasions compared to Duren's 0. Impliedly, this shows that they were trying to exploit Duren's high defensive line with swift counters, potentially justifying their lower number of corner kicks.

In conclusion, despite 1. FC Duren having more corner kicks and the home team getting more yellow cards, the effective strategic approach of SV Rodinghausen helped them secure a solid 2-0 victory. They were able to successfully take their chances and score crucial goals while maintaining their discipline and composure, despite having a higher number of offsides and receiving a higher number of disciplinary cards. This focus on goal exploitation rather than possession and territory goes to show, once again, that football is not won by statistics and highlights the need for teams to convert their opportunities effectively.
