In a stunning display of resilience, NEC Nijmegen turned the tables on PSV Eindhoven, trouncing the latter 3:1 at their home ground on 30th March 2024. Given the statistical analysis of this match, it becomes evident as to how this surprising outcome was achieved.

Goal scoring was clearly the major factor in NEC Nijmegen's victory. Despite the lead taken by PSV Eindhoven in the 19th minute, NEC proved that they had both the determination and skill to come back, equalizing the score within 23 minutes of PSV's goal. The scoring didn't stop there; NEC added two more decisive goals in the second half, with the final 3:1 scoreline in their favour.

Analyzing in terms of disciplinary actions, PSV Eindhoven seemed to struggle. They received two yellow cards, one in the 10th minute and another in the 42nd minute, an indicator of potential struggle to maintain order in their ranks which could have led to mistakes that were capitalized on by their opponents.

While PSV led the way in terms of corner kicks, with a whopping seven compared to NEC Nijmegen’s one, this statistic reflects a failed conversion rate. Irrespective of the superb opportunities from corners created by PSV, they were not fully exploited, and it was the Nijmegen team who managed to convert their chances effectively causing an upset.

On the fouls front, Nijmegen committed a higher number of fouls (7) against Eindhoven's five. But, the absence of disciplinary cards for NEC, compared to the two yellow cards for PSV suggest a more efficient tactical foul methodology adopted by NEC, disrupting the flow of Eindhoven without costing themselves any bookings.

An interesting stat to note is that Eindhoven was not caught offside even once, compared to Nijmegen's single offside. This could suggest that PSV’s attacking players adopted a more cautious approach, limiting their runs behind the defensive line.

All of these factors had a major role to play in the outcome of the match. NEC Nijmegen may be delighted with their stunning win against PSV Eindhoven, but these statistics suggest a story of a plucky side effectively capitalizing on their opportunities more so than their defiant opposition.
