In a thrilling competition in the Second League, FK Podgorica managed to secure a win over FK Otrant with a 2-1 final scoreline on 04 October 2023 at 15:00 EEST.

FK Podgorica was able to turn their home ground advantage into a victory by consistently posing threats to the opposition's goal. They registered two decisive goals, the first appearing 56 minutes & 16 seconds into the second half, followed by a second successful strike just over 17 minutes later, setting them ahead with a comfortable 2-0 lead.

FK Otrant, however, didn't give in without a fight. Their persistence paid off 5 minutes after Podgorica's second goal when they netted a goal of their own, bringing the score to a close 2-1. Despite this moment of success, it wasn't enough to level the playing field and the away team found themselves short of a draw.

Moving into the more detailed statistics of the game, FK Podgorica proved slightly more aggressive in terms of set-pieces, having won 7 corner kicks compared to FK Otrant's 5. This could be seen as a reflection of Podgorica's greater control of the game and their aggressive offensive strategy. Although FK Podgorica committed one offside, FK Otrant failed to capitalise on this mistake and remained offside-free, albeit it did not particularly benefit their overall performance.

In terms of disciplinary actions, both teams kept things under control with the home team receiving two yellow cards and the away team only one. The first booking against Podgorica occurred towards the end of the first half at 42 minutes & 15 seconds, while the second booking was given later in the second half at 77 minutes & 36 seconds. Otrant's only yellow card was received a little over 10 minutes prior to the end of the match.

In conclusion, FK Podgorica managed to maintain their composure, and their assertive strategy in utilizing corner kicks seems to have played a vital role in securing the win. FK Otrant displayed good resistance with a lower corner count and fewer yellow cards, however, the minimal difference in these stats did not serve as a game-changer in their favor. Other factors including offsides and fouls seemed to have relatively low impact on the overall outcome of the match.
