In a First Division match played on March 15, 2024, the home team, Cork City, emerged victorious against their rivals, Bray Wanderers, with a 2-0 clean win.

The Cork City team performed impressively, establishing a solid lead in the first half of the game. The team's first goal came early - a decisive move 5 minutes and 56 seconds into the match, setting the pace for the game. Demonstrating their offensive prowess, they quickly followed it up with another goal at the 14 minutes 22 seconds mark, thus heading into halftime with a solid 2 goals lead.

Despite the lead, the game was far from one-sided. The game statistics revealed Bray Wanderers putting up a strong fight. They had more corner kicks than Cork City (8 versus 6), suggesting a significant effort was made on generating scoring opportunities. However, Cork City's staunch defensive play, reflected by the fact that they flagged offside 3 times, defused the threats from their opponents.

As the match wore on, both teams displayed a fair share of overly aggressive play. There was a yellow card apiece to each side, with Bray Wanderers administering their discipline loss near the end of the first half (42 minutes 10 seconds), while the home team received theirs slightly in the early moments of the second half (47 minutes 34 seconds). Lucky enough, the fouls seemed not to hamper either side from maintaining a full squad on the field, as there were no red cards.

There was a lack of successful attempts at goal on the Bray Wanderer's side which significantly affected their overall match performance. However, their solid defensive play ensured they did not concede any more goals in the later stages of the game.

In conclusion, the ability of Cork City to capitalize on their chances in the early stages of the game proved decisive. Their determined defensive display also played a crucial role in sealing this victory, as Bray Wanderers struggled to break through despite their increased corner kick statistic. Nevertheless, the room for improvement is noticeable for both teams in terms of discipline to avoid unnecessary cautions in the future.
