In the Premier League football match between Accra Lions FC and Medeama SC, it was a tightly contested affair, but the home side managed to edge out a victory - thanks to a single goal scored in the second half of the match.

Looking at the statistical factors of the match, we can see that, although with only one goal, Accra Lions FC showed superior discipline and excellent strategic handling, especially in the way of reducing offsides, which was crucial for their victory.

On the contrary, Medeama SC seem to have struggled with a high offside count - they were flagged offside a whopping 9 times, compared to only 2 offsides from the Accra Lions. These offsides indisputably restricted their goal-scoring opportunities and hindered their forward progress.

Yellow cards were another key factor in this match. Accra Lions received 3, with two of them being given in the second half, which could suggest a rise in pressure and intensity from the home side as the game progressed. Medeama SC received 2 yellow cards, one in each half, indicating a steady level of discipline in their gameplay. Despite the increased aggressiveness suggested by the higher number of yellow cards by Accra Lions FC, it didn’t lead to any red card dismissal, which could have seriously altered the dynamics and result of the match.

In terms of corner kicks, Medeama SC had double the number of corner kicks compared to the home team, with 4 compared to Accra Lions’ 2. This could indicate a relatively more aggressive attacking play from the away side, despite the loss.

Despite these statistics indicating a more offensive play from Medeama SC, Accra Lions FC succeeded in keeping a clean sheet. This demonstrates their defensive stability and tact in controlling the game, even when put under significant pressure.

The match's game-changing moment, however, came when the Accra Lions FC found the back of the net in the 72nd minute of the match, which proved to be the game's deciding factor.

Altogether, while Medeama SC had displayed some strong attacking strategies, they were unable to capitalize on their advantages, which along with a high offside count, ultimately cost them the match. On the other hand, a strong defensive display from Accra Lions FC, coupled with their better discipline in avoiding offsides and converting the critical goal-scoring opportunity they got, ultimately led them to victory.
