The Premier League match between Legon Cities FC and Real Tamale United, played on the 5th of March 2023, ended in a solid 1-1 draw after a dramatic second half display by both teams. The goal by the home team in the early minutes of the second half (01:10:55) was offset by an equalizer from Real Tamale United in the 01:26:42 mark, resulting in a balanced game.

Football is a game of stats and percentages, and this game was no different with statistics playing a significant role in the outcome. A careful examination of the match statistics shows a game of contrasting team performances and efficiency on the field.

In terms of discipline, Real Tamale United acquired more yellow cards with a total of 3, as opposed to Legon's solitary card. Two of these came in the second half, with the most significant one occurring at 01:22:28, shortly before their game-changing goal. The increasing regularity of the yellow cards issued to the away team possibly indicates a more physical and aggressive style of play, which in turn seemed to facilitate their pressure effort leading to the equalizing goal.

Although United had more offsides (7) than Legon Cities (5), the quality of their attacking intent should not be overlooked. It indicates an attacking style with a high line, which kept their opponents on their toes. However, they would need to work on their timing to decrease these offside calls and increase their chance at successful runs at the opponent's goal.

Interestingly, even with fewer corner kicks (2) compared to the home side's four, United managed a goal and secured the draw. This says a lot about the team's strategy and execution from set-pieces.

On the other hand, despite the home advantage, Legon Cities FC only managed to convert one of their numerous chances and, as a result, neutralizing the advantage of the extra corner kicks. Perhaps, if they worked on their shot to goal conversion rate, which is implied by the statistic given regarding goals against corner kicks, the outcome might've been different.

In conclusion, while Legon Cities FC appear to have better control of the game, reflected in their fewer fouls and higher corner kicks, United showcased better use of their opportunities. United's aggressive style, while risky causing more offsides and yellow cards, provided an effective counterbalance, leading them to level the score.
