In the National Premier League match that took place on the 18th of May at 08:00 EEST, the match was clearly defined by a few key factors that led to a 2-0 victory for the away team, SP Falcons FC, against FC Deren.

One of the most significant elements included the early goals scored by SP Falcons FC in the first half. The first goal was scored in the 7th minute, while the second swiftly followed in the 16th minute of play. These early goals gave SP Falcons FC a strong foothold in the match, establishing a notable lead over FC Deren.

Also noteworthy is the discipline of both teams. Each team received three yellow cards each, evenly spread throughout the match. The first yellow card for the away team was given just after they scored their first goal but it did not seem to have an effect on the team's morale or performance, as they went on to score another goal shortly after. The home team, however, received two yellow cards in the first half at the 27th and 37th minutes, with another in the second half, indicating a high level of on-field tension and perhaps a certain level of unorganisation in the team. It should be noted that despite the numerous yellow cards, both teams managed to avoid any red card sanctions, maintaining full squads on the field.

When comparing the teams in corners awarded, FC Deren led with 9 corner kicks compared toSP Falcons FC's 3. However, the home team's inability to capitalise on these opportunities clearly reflected in the final scoreline. These missed opportunities could be an indication of the lack of effective strategy in set-piece situations, a factor that FC Deren might want to work on in upcoming matches.

While both teams had minimal fouls with the home team committing only one, and the away team two, SP Falcons FC demonstrated a sterner defensive resilience, keeping a clean sheet despite FC Deren's numerous attacks.

In summary, though the match saw a high level of physical play and opportunities created, especially from the home team, the decisive factor remained the early goals scored by the away team. FC Deren failed to recover momentum after SP Falcons FC's early surge, unable to break through the latter's defence and clinical strike force. SP Falcons FC’s early goals, the discipline of both teams and the inability of FC Deren to convert opportunities into goals were the major factors that had the most significant impact on this match.
