In the tightly contested Liga 2 match between PSMS Medan and Sada Sumut FC on 11th November 2023, PSMS Medan emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. The keenly anticipated match saw PSMS Medan take the early lead exactly 3 minutes and 8 seconds into the first half. However, their early advantage was nullified by Sada Sumut FC who drew level five minutes before the half-time whistle.

The match was a tactical display from both sides, with a clear emphasis on aggression and tight marking which was evident from the numbers of yellow cards issued. The home team received a total of four yellow cards, two in each half. The away team was also not spared by the referee, receiving three yellow cards with one incident in the first half and two in the second.

Breaking up the opponents' rhythm with fouls might have been a strategic move by both sides as it tends to reduce the number of productive plays the opposition can make. However, this risky approach did not lead to any red cards, which could have significantly affected the balance of the match.

Looking at the share of set-pieces, PSMS Medan dominated with a tally of 9 corner kicks compared to Sada Sumut FC’s 5. These corners can be indicative of the attacking pressure PSMS Medan imposed leading to more scoring opportunities. Conversely, the away side failed to expose the home side’s defense through offside traps, with zero offsides to their name throughout the match.

PSMS Medan opened the scoring for the second half, restoring their lead in the 51st minute. The team’s discipline and commitment to defense seemingly increased after this point as they sought to protect their one-goal lead. This became an uphill battle with two more yellow cards being issued to them in the second half.

Following a thorough analysis of the statistical data, the game’s decisive moments arrived early in both halves. The early goals by PSMS Medan in each half seemed to set Sada Sumut FC back, and despite their efforts, they were unable to draw level or take the lead in the second half.

In conclusion, the home side’s performance showcased a balance between aggression, as shown by their yellow card count, and a creative force in offense, reflected by their corner kick and goal tally. Meanwhile, the away team, despite their resilience, fell short, marked by their lack of offside plays and lesser corner kicks. Their comeback spirit, however, was clearly seen in their first-half equalizer. The teams' performance and strategies shaped the match outcome, making it a thrilling encounter for the spectators.
