On January 20, 2023, AFC Ajax (Wom) edged out their rivals ADO Den Haag (Wom) 3-2 in an intense Eredivisie - Women's match.

Ajax (Wom) started the match strong by scoring the first goal within just two minutes of the first half. However, ADO Den Haag (Wom) wasn't fazed and replied with a goal of their own at the 37th minute, evening the game at 1-1. Undeterred, Ajax managed to reclaim their lead with a second goal just before the half ended, bringing the score to 2-1 going into halftime.

The second half of the match was equally exciting. The away team managed to pull the score level at 2-2 in the 78th minute. Yet, Ajax, seemingly fearless without their sent-off player, somehow managed to clinch a 3-2 victory with a decisive goal just five minutes later.

The narrow victory was perhaps somewhat unexpected considering the teams' offensive statistics. Den Haag clearly dominated in terms of corner kicks (7 to Ajax's mere 2). Moreover, without having any offside, they showed a good amount of discipline in attacking. That being said, it's important to highlight that having more corner kicks doesn't necessarily translate to scoring more goals. However, this is a good indicator of the extent to which Den Haag pressed Ajax during this match.

On the defensive side of things, the match was rather tame, with each side committing only three fouls. However, Ajax had to face a more significant challenge as they had one of their players sent off with a red card. Despite the numeric disadvantage, their defense held firm and prevented any goal-scoring opportunities from Den Haag.

In conclusion, while ADO Den Haag (Wom) seemed to have the better attacking opportunities and more possession due to their superior corner kick stats, it was Ajax's efficient goal scoring that ultimately won them the match. Ajax's ability to hold off their opponent despite going one man down due to a red card speaks volumes to their defensive resilience and teamwork under pressure.

As for ADO Den Haag, their single yellow card could potentially speak to their aggressive yet controlled play style throughout this closely contested match. Although they didn't convert as many scoring opportunities as their fans would have liked, they didn’t face an offside throughout the game.

In closing, this match was an excellent example of how statistics can hide the true dynamics of a football game. Despite not leading in some of the game's known parameters, AFC Ajax (Wom) topped in the only one that matters at the end of the day: goals. Their red card and lower number of corner kicks made their victory even more impressive, speaking volumes about their defensive solidity and offensive efficiency.
