In the game between FC Ryukyu and FC Imabari held on 21st October 2023 as a part of the J3 League, the results swayed in favor of the latter. FC Imabari emerged victorious with a decisive scoreline of 3-1. Breaking down the game dynamics, key statistics shed light upon the patterns and trends that played a significant role in shaping up the outcome of the game.

Arguably the most crucial stats from the game are those concerning goals scored. FC Imabari delivered a second half offensive onslaught, scoring its first goal at 01:07:04, followed swiftly by the second and third goals at 01:09:06 and 01:12:08 respectively. FC Ryukyu responded late at 01:24:28, but the lone goal served only as a consolation.

Discipline was an issue for both sides, with FC Imabari receiving 3 yellow cards and FC Ryukyu 2. The away team was cautioned once in the first half at 00:33:16 and twice more in the second half at 00:55:46 and 01:11:39. The home team received one yellow card in the first half at 00:25:03 and one late in the second half at 01:34:38. Occurrences of these yellow cards imply that both teams had a tendency to breach conduct, more so for the FC Imabari team.

In terms of set-pieces like corner kicks, FC Imabari’s edge was distinctly visible. With a total of 5 corner kicks as opposed to FC Ryukyu's lone corner, FC Imabari was able to generate more goal-scoring opportunities.

Another key point worth noting is the offside game. FC Imabari was caught offside once whilst FC Ryukyu managed to steer clear of any offside infringements. Although a minor figure, it does hint at the flanking pattern and attacking style of both teams.

Overall, FC Imabari's commanding performance can be quantified not only by their superior goal statistics but also the significant difference in the number of corner kicks to capitalise upon. In terms of discipline, both the teams can learn to hold their grounds more carefully, as multiple acute instances on both sides disrupted the flow of the game and could have led to more severe consequences. Despite FC Ryukyu's better offside discipline, they struggled to produce substantial attacks and were eventually overwhelmed by their opponents' offensive prowess.
