The match on the 10th of September 2023, 08:00 EEST was between Sriwijaya FC and Sada Sumut FC, two teams competing in Liga 2. The sight of the final scoreline "Sriwijaya FC 2, Sada Sumut FC 0" tells a compelling story of a decisive home victory, however underlying statistics hint at a more nuanced narrative.

Sriwijaya FC were the more effective side in terms of converting opportunities, scoring a goal in each half. The opening goal was scored quite early, only 2 minutes and 9 seconds into the match. This early breakthrough likely boosted the morale of the Sriwijaya players and disrupted Sada Sumut's initial game plan. The second came quite late into the match at 1 hour 34 minutes and 43 seconds, further consolidating the home team's ascendency.

Interestingly, despite Sada Sumut FC's 12 corner kicks which significantly outstripped Sriwijaya FC's 3, they failed to convert these opportunities into goals. This discrepancy suggests that while Sada Sumut were able to put themselves into positions to score, they struggled with the final touch. Meanwhile, Sriwijaya FC showed a high level of efficiency, with fewer corners but more goals.

Moving on to the disciplinary side of the game, both teams received equal number of yellow cards, 2 each, which were all issued in the second half. The cards for the home team were handed within a short period, the 1 hour 17 minutes mark and 1 hour 21 minutes mark, which might have put some temporary pressure on their defense. Nonetheless, they managed to maintain discipline and avoid further punishment.

It was, however, Sada Sumut's last yellow card at 1 hour 31 minutes into the game that could have been a pivotal moment in the contest. With just under an hour to play and already a goal behind, this yellow card might have disrupted their momentum and dampened spirits.

In conclusion, Sriwijaya FC demonstrated an impressive efficiency in front of goal and a solid defense against numerous corner kick attempts. Sada Sumut FC, on the other hand, despite having more opportunities in the form of corner kicks, struggled to capitalize on them and this failure coupled with their less than stellar discipline in the second half might have contributed significantly to their defeat.
