In the Eredivisie fixture on January 28th, 2023, at 19:00 EEST, Heerenveen hosted Vitesse Arnhem where the away team managed a solid victory, winning 3-1. However, it was a game of two halves with both teams showing vitality and strategic play.

Heerenveen initiated an early lead scoring their only goal at the 21:10-minute mark, yet this did not discourage Vitesse Arnhem. They came back stronger to score two goals before the halftime whistle, one at the 31:27-minute mark and another in the 44:27-minute, shifting the dynamics of the game.

Entering the second half with a lead, Vitesse Arnhem capitalized further by scoring their third goal just two minutes into the second half at the 46:46-minute mark, solidifying their dominance over the match.

Examining the set-plays, both teams equaled in corner kicks with six each, which is indicative of a matched level of offensive possession in the opponent's half. However, despite the equal opportunities to cause damage from set plays, Vitesse Arnhem were more efficient at converting their opportunities into goals.

Notably, Heerenveen was slightly more aggressive in their approach, committing seven fouls as opposed to Vitesse Arnhem's five. This more assertive style of play eventually resulted in a yellow card being given to Heerenveen at the 01:27:52-minute mark in the second half. The differentiation in the team's discipline level was apparent, with Vitesse Arnhem managing to maintain a clean sheet with zero yellow cards.

In conclusion, even though Heerenveen started strong, Vitesse Arnhem's resilience and a superior tactical approach were the game-changer. Evidently, their offensive strategy was more effective, as reflected in the number of goals scored from both open play and set piece situations, despite equal corner kicks. The discipline maintained by Vitesse Arnhem might have also contributed to their triumph, keeping the team in better organization and lowering potential risks.
