On the 24th of November 2023 in the Super League 1, we saw ONI Crete FC and PAE Volos finish on a 1-1 draw.

There was a display of aggressive defense from both teams with a total of 20 fouls recorded for both sides, 8 for OFI Crete FC, overshadowed by PAE Volos who recorded 12 fouls. Both sides were shown a total of 7 yellow cards, an indication of the vigorous nature of the match, with Volos committing far too many errors which resulted in 4 yellow cards and a red card.

In terms of ball possession in crucial areas, OFI Crete FC was more productive, as evidenced by six corner kicks earned compared to Volos' two. This suggests Crete FC were quite successful in pushing into their opponents' half and maintaining pressure at key moments. Despite this, their inability to fully capitalize on these advantageous positions resulted in only one goal, showing a lack of precision in the final third of the pitch.

The match also had its fair share of offsides, with the home team's aggressive movement upfront leading to 4 offsides, whereas PAE Volos had only 2. The number of offsides reflects an overall attempt from both teams to utilize quick forward passes and shows that both teams were aiming to catch the opposition's defense off-guard.

However, both teams seem to have similar defensive organization and managed to block these attempts, which might have resulted in the 1-1 draw. Despite the home team's exploitation of the flanks and aggressive attempts, they were only able to net one, coming after the half-time, at 01:00:01. The away team scored their only goal much earlier, at 42:27 in the first half.

In summary, except for the abundant corners OFI Crete FC managed to gain, there wasn't much to differentiate the teams' performances, which is reflected in the 1-1 scoreline. However, PAE Volos's high fouling rate and discount discipline appeared to have played against them, preventable offenses that could be worked on in future matches. They managed to draw despite being a player down, but in the long run, such behavior might cost them more dearly.
