In a closely fought encounter on the 13th of October, 2023 in Liga 2, Persikab Bandung drew 1-1 with Malut United FC. Each side was credited with a goal, but several additional factors provide key insights into the performances of both teams, which ultimately influenced the outcome of the contest.

The match started in high tempo with Malut United FC getting an early lead by scoring their only goal in the first half, coming at 5 minutes and 34 seconds in. This fast start proved effective for the away team, however, they failed to capitalize on this lead as they could not manage any more goals for the rest of the match.

Persikab Bandung, on the other hand, bounced back in the second half, equalizing with a goal at the 55th minute and 16 seconds mark. This goal revitalized the home side, allowing them to dictate the rest of the match.

Throughout the match, discipline was a crucial aspect, with a total of 5 yellow cards. While Persikab Bandung only received a single yellow card in the second half, the situation was drastically different for Malut United FC. They were cautioned four times, all in the second half, making it very clear that their higher percentage of yellow cards likely affected their playing style and the decisions of their coaching staff. Had they maintained better discipline, the game could have potentially been steered in their favor.

When analyzing the set-piece play, the difference was minimal. Persikab Bandung had 8 corner kicks compared to Malut United FC's 7, displaying that both teams were similarly matched when it came to creating opportunities. However, it doesn't seem like any side could utilize these scenarios for adding more goals to their tally.

However, Persikab Bandung's comparatively higher number of offsides (3) compared to Malut United FC who did not go offside at all, is an indicator that they were more aggressive and looking to break down the opposition's defensive line. Their pressing playstyle, whilst resulting in offsides, could also have put pressure on Malut United which prevented them from scoring more goals.

In conclusion, despite an equal number of goals, the performance of both teams varied greatly, with disrupting factors ranging from disciplinary issues to different strategic approaches, each having influenced the end result of 1-1. For future matches, both teams may look at these insights to rectify the areas they struggled in and ultimately seek better results in their future fixtures.
