The 1. Deild match on June 10th, 2023, 14:00 EEST, between UMF Afturelding and FC IF Vestri, was a thrilling encounter that saw the home side run out 3-1 winners. This report analyzes various statistical factors that played a critical role in shaping the result of the match.

The UMF Afturelding's offensive performance was impressive, managing to net three goals. The first goal came just 4 minutes 39 seconds into the first half. This early goal provided the team with momentum throughout the first half that resulted in a second goal at the 41-minute mark. While the away team managed to pull one goal back in the second half, the early home team lead proved insurmountable.

Although Afturelding conceded a single late goal in the 78th minute, their defensive shielding up until that point was commendable. The home side were particularly proficient in anticipating and intercepting the opponent's attack, which reflected in a high offside figure with a total of nine offsides recorded against the away team, Vestri.

Notably, both teams need to improve their discipline, as UMF Afturelding picked up six yellow cards while FC IF Vestri picked up three. The home team, Afturelding, were particularly ill-disciplined receiving four cards in the first half and two in the second half, posing a significant risk of playing with a reduced team.

A closer look at the set-piece play shows that Afturelding marginally outperformed Vestri. Their slight edge in corner kicks (5 vs. 3) suggests a more extensive catalogue of offensive opportunities being created from crosses into the box. Defensive resilience, however, from Vestri did stop this from directly translating into more goals.

In conclusion, UMF Afturelding's early goals, combined with effective offside trapping and a slew of chances created from set pieces, were key factors that determined the outcome of this contest. Regardless, increased discipline may be something both sides need to focus on ahead of their next matches to safeguard against unnecessary disadvantageous situations.
