The Second League football match on 3rd April 2024 saw FK Otrant claim victory against OFK Igalo with a 2-1 result. The match, packed with strategic plays, disciplined defence, and a tremendous spirit, was primarily decided by key statistics that significantly influenced the match's outcome.

FK Otrant set the tone with an early goal in the first half at 27:34 minutes, triggering a sense of dominance on the field. The second goal from FK Otrant came in much later in the second half at 83:03 minutes. OFK Igalo, while trailing, put up a credible resistance reflected in their solitary goal in the second half at 88:50 minutes, thereby curtailing the margin. While OFK Igalo was quick to respond with a goal, FK Otrant’s quickfire opening coupled with consistent defence was enough to ensure the victory.

Looking at the play-by-play, even though FK Otrant were behind in terms of corner kicks, they managed to maximize opportunities from their 4 kicks as against the 9 corner kicks OFK Igalo had. This indicates a highly efficient and decisive performance from FK Otrant's set-piece plays. On the other hand, OFK Igalo's sheer volume of corners illustrates their pressing game, albeit their finishing was not efficient.

FK Otrant drew three offsides during the match, which points to an aggressive forward push, whereas OFK Igalo maintained a disciplined line with no offside fouls. However, their careful play didn't necessarily translate into goal success.

In terms of discipline, FK Otrant racked two yellow cards during the second half at 55:51 and 73:33 minutes. This posed a potential risk and pressure on their defensive line. OFK Igalo was handed a yellow card quite late in the game at 84:45 minutes. Despite these bookings, all players remained on the pitch with no red cards, which allowed both teams to maintain their tactical formations.

In conclusion, FK Otrant’s victory can be attributed to their early dominance in scoring, tactical set-piece performance, and a diligent defence despite their disciplinary lapses. OFK Igalo demonstrated a disciplined forward line and pressing game but lacked the final touch in goal conversion, which tipped the balance in favor of FK Otrant in this closely contested match. For future games, both teams will have to reassess strategy, particularly in terms of maximizing corner kick opportunities and discipline on the pitch.
