In the J3 League match held on 2nd September 2023 at 9:00 EEST, SC Sagamihara were able to edge out Kataller Toyama by 2-1. Despite the home advantage, Kataller Toyama couldn't fully exploit it to their favor.

The first goal of the match was scored by SC Sagamihara relatively early, at 00:47:31 in the first half, this lead held firm, and was then increased to 2-0 by Sagamihara at 01:24:12 of the second half. It was after this goal that Kataller Toyama managed to retaliate, reducing the deficit to 1-2 at 01:25:42. Despite this late surge, the home team wasn't able to equalize or gain the lead in the remaining time.

Looking into the disciplinary aspects, SC Sagamihara performed more aggressively with three yellow cards as opposed to one yellow card by Kataller Toyama. This aggressive positioning shows in the sagamihara's early goal lead. However, the aggression led to Sagamihara drawing more fouls than the home team, each recording a total of one and Sagamihara even ending up with a red card.

From an analytical perspective, while both teams were evenly matched in terms of fouls, the difference maker appears to be the execution of set-pieces. Kataller Toyama won more corner kicks (3 vs 1) than SC Sagamihara, but unfortunately, they were not able to efficiently commercialize this advantage into goals. This discrepancy could be seen as a testament to SC Sagamihara's defensive resilience and could potentially account for their victory in this fixture.

In conclusion, the three key components that determined the match outcome were Sagamihara's early goal, their defensive solidity despite their high foul count and effective use of fewer corner opportunities. Despite the home team's advantage in terms of possession and set-pieces, they couldn't capitalize which seemingly resulted in their downfall. Sagamihara, on the other hand, emerged triumphant, demonstrating an efficient, targeted approach towards their offensive strategies.
