In an exciting and tactical showdown, the Icelandic Cup saw Midas FC secure a 1-0 victory over RB Keflavik on April 4, 2024. The match was charged with dynamic plays and proved to be rather tactical than explosive, as the statistics received reveal a detailed image of each team's performance.

Starting with the goals, the only goal of the match and the decider was scored by Midas FC in the dying minutes of the first half at 44:06. This hints towards a game strategy focused on solid defence and waiting for the precise moments to launch an attack.

When we take a glance at fouls, we notice that both teams were quite disciplined, each earning a solitary yellow card. Midas received their yellow card slightly earlier (at 39:28) than RB Keflavik, which received theirs in the 57:17 minute. No red cards were issued, further emphasizing the disciplined game approach by both teams.

Perhaps the most surprising statistic from this match was the corner kick count. Despite its success in the match, Midas FC recorded zero corner kicks, a statistic that strongly implies that their attacking strategy was not based on wide plays or wing crosses, instead focusing on central build-ups and through balls for attack. This was juxtaposed by RB Keflavik, who enjoyed 8 corner kicks in total during the match. However, they failed to convert these opportunities, likely due to Midas’s superior defending and perhaps poor finishing from RB Keflavik's attacking line.

Offsides also stand out as a significant factor in this clash. Midas FC was caught offsides thrice, indicating their intent to penetrate behind the RB Keflavik defence. However, this often resulted in slightly mistimed runs from their forward line. RB Keflavik on the other hand, had only a single offside implying a much more patient strategy in attack, or better timing from their forward players.

In conclusion, while RB Keflavik had more corner opportunities and less offsides, they failed to capitalize on these advantages and remained goalless, demonstrating the importance of quality over quantity. Midas FC, on the other hand, despite less ball possession in attacking zones, managed to seize the solitary goal that eventually declared them victorious. Their approach underlines the importance of a sturdy defence, strategic attacking rather than merely dominating in statistics.
