In the Eredivisie match held on 22nd April 2023 at 7:00 pm EEST, Vitesse Arnhem welcomed SBV Excelsior in a game filled with intensity and aggressiveness but lacked the finesse and final touches, as it ended in a goalless draw. From an analytical perspective, the statistical factors reveal quite an interesting story about the teams' performance and areas they need to improve.

Vitesse Arnhem dominated the game in various aspects, but chiefly in corner kicks with 17 against a paltry 3 by SBV Excelsior. This could suggest that Vitesse Arnhem had the upper hand during most of the match since usually more corners are generally indicative of greater attacking forces and more possession in the adversary's half. However, the home team was unable to leverage this advantage and turn it into actual goals.

However, quite counter-intuitively, Vitesse Arnhem were found offside twice while Excelsior didn't have any offside calls against them. This data indicates that although Vitesse Arnhem had more offensive aggressiveness, they seemed to lack coordination and timing in their offensive lines leading to offside situations.

When it comes to discipline, both teams had their shares of fouls to deal with, a total of 7 for Vitesse Arnhem and 11 for SBV Excelsior. Both teams would need to refrain from committing unnecessary fouls as it not only disrupts their flow of the game but also risks yellow or red cards. Speaking of card offences, Vitesse Arnhem got two yellow cards, one in each half of the match while Excelsior got one in the latter half. However, despite a combined total of 3 yellow cards, no player was sent off the field with a red card, which is a positive aspect of the teams' discipline during the match.

Based on these statistics, it is clear that while Vitesse Arnhem dominated the match in terms of attacks and possession, their lack of precision and coordination in the opponent's half, evidenced by their offside calls, stunted their goal-scoring attempts. Excelsior, on the other hand, seems to have been mainly on the defensive given their higher foul rate and lower corner kicks ratio.

Overall, the goalless result could be attributed to Vitesse's inability to make the most of their offensive dominance into scoring goals and Excelsior’s successful defensive measures, alongside their cautious offence. Both teams will need to work on their strategic utilization of possession, attack coordination, and discipline to enhance their future performances.
