In yesterday's Super League 1 clash between PAE Volos and OFI Crete FC, the home team PAE Volos emerged victoriously with a 3-1 finishing score, having turned the tide after initially conceding the first goal to OFI.

Through an in-depth review of key statistical factors, it is evident that PAE Volos not only displayed excellent shot conversion but also put up an impressive defensive performance. Although the specifics such as total shots on target are not provided, we understand that at least three of the home team's shots were successful attempts at goal.

On the other hand, OFI Crete's only goal came in the first 13 minutes of the match, suggesting they started with momentum but were not able to sustain it. The game was riddled with fouls and yellow cards, especially for the away team. OFI Crete FC amassed a total of 10 fouls with 5 yellow cards issued. Though none resulted in a red card, the frequency of disciplinary actions possibly indicates an aggressive play style that did not pay off – it rather disrupted their gameplay and handed over the advantage to PAE Volos, who, although equally aggressive with the same number of yellow cards, managed to keep their fouls to half the number clocked up by OFI Crete.

Interestingly, despite possessing the majority of the corner kicks (7 compared to PAE Volos' 2), OFI Crete FC were not able to convert these opportunities into goals. This underscores the superior defensive performance of PAE Volos and the resilience they displayed even when their goal was under threat frequently.

In the first half, the two teams seemed closely matched, with both teams scoring a goal and receiving yellow cards. Nevertheless, Volos pulled away in the second half with two more goals, suggesting their stamina and strategic gameplay came to the forefront as the match progressed.

In conclusion, the major factors that turned the scales in PAE Volos's favour were their successful conversion of shots into goals, their resilience in defense despite fewer corner kicks, and their less disruptive and more disciplined play compared to OFI Crete. Despite the home team advantage, Volos's victory was not so much handed to them as it was seized through their determined and calculated performance.
