In the KNVB Cup clash on the 19th Dec 2023, SC Cambuur Leeuwarden overpowered FC Dordrecht with a commanding 3-0 victory. The statistical breakdown of the match will enable us to understand this conclusive result better.

From the get-go, it was Cambuur who stamped their authority on the match. Their first goal came early in the first half at the 23:19 mark, setting the tone of the match. Despite facing more yellow cards than Dordrecht, Cambuur effectively managed the game. In fact, both yellow cards for Cambuur were awarded in the second half, indicating that their calculated aggressive style of play didn't hinder their goal-scoring momentum.

The second and third goals came in the second half, contributing to the final scoreline of 3-0. These goals at 57:20 and 78:57 respectively, demonstrate Cambuur’s consistent pressure and attacking prowess throughout the match.

Coming to the more intricate statistics, both teams committed a single offside each. This stat reflects a disciplined forward line from both sides with good understanding of their defensive line's depth. However, it was only Cambuur who capitalized on these thoughtful runs.

Despite FC Dordrecht having one more corner kick than Cambuur (8 compared to 7), they failed to convert any of these opportunities into goals. Corners can be a reliable indicator of a team’s attacking pressure, and while Dordrecht may have had the edge here, it's clear their set-piece execution lacked the efficiency and accuracy of Cambuur's.

As for fouls, no red cards were issued to either side, suggesting a relatively clean game, aside from the three yellow cards handed out—two for Cambuur, one for Dordrecht. Dordrecht’s only yellow card came quite late into the match, at the 66:56 mark of the second half which shows a certain measure of discipline in their play but perhaps indicates a lack of aggression that Cambuur seemed to capitalise on.

In conclusion, the clear 3-0 victory in favour of SC Cambuur Leeuwarden came mainly from their powerful attacking style, visible in the timing and spread of their goals. They dominated despite having more bookings and fewer corner kicks, showing that precise execution is often a more critical determinant of success than mere numerical advantage in set-pieces. Dordrecht, on the other hand, was not able to translate their statistical advantages into tangible results, underlining a missed opportunity for them to gain a foothold in the match.
