In the NB I match that took place on February 24, 2024, between Zalaegerszeg TE and Kecskemeti TE, statistics played a pivotal role in dictating the dynamics of the game and the final result ─ a convincing 3-1 win for the home team.

Zalaegerszeg TE laid the groundwork for their victory, scoring two crucial goals in the first half, with the first goal coming just nine minutes into the game. Goal timing can be a deciding factor in football, and with the home team scoring early on, it likely helped set the tone and dynamic for the remainder of the game, putting the away team on a back foot.

Despite Zalaegerszeg TE's initial dominance, Kecskemeti TE shown flashes of resistance, particularly in the second half. They managed to pull one back with a goal at the 59th-minute mark. Nevertheless, their hopes of a comeback were quelled when Zalaegerszeg TE scored their third goal in the 80th minute, solidifying their triumph.

From a disciplinary perspective, the teams had notably different performances. Kecskemeti TE collected three yellow cards, two of which were earned in the first half. This hints at a struggle to adapt to Zalaegerszeg TE's play and possibly them resorting to rough play to keep up. On the other hand, Zalaegerszeg TE's record shows a more disciplined performance with only one yellow card given at the 90th minute, which is more than likely did not influence the outcome of the game.

In set-piece scenarios, Kecskemeti TE had more corner kicks (5, compared to Zalaegerszeg's 3), but they failed to capitalize on these opportunities. Both teams were leveled in terms of offside calls (one each), demonstrating a comparable level of tactical sharpness and careful forward movement. Though Kecskemeti TE had more corner kicks, it wasn't mirrored in goals.

In essence, the home team's early and sustained aggression, coupled with disciplined football, proved superior to the away team's unsuccessful set-piece attempts and lack of discipline. For future bettors, the key takeaway from this match would be to take into account not only raw scoring stats but also the significance of discipline, timing, and set-piece proficiency when predicting match outcomes.
