The KNVB Cup face-off between home team SBV Excelsior and away team Groningen on 16th January 2024 proved to be an interesting showdown. Ultimately, the away team, Groningen, triumphed with a decisive 2-0 victory. The difference between the two squads was made apparent in how they utilized their opportunities and performed under pressure.
Let's dive into the specifics. Groningen clocked two goals, both during the second half of the match. The first goal, which set the tone of the match, happened within the third quarter, exactly at 01:11:30. This breakthrough was swiftly followed by another goal at 01:17:16, quickly boosting the away team's advantage to 2-0. Meanwhile, Excelsior failed to register a single goal.
Critically, Groningen's control of the game was reflected in their dominance on corner kicks. They leveraged seven corner kicks, a significant boost compared to Excelsior's four. This suggests that Groningen was more aggressive in pushing their attack, creating more opportunities and putting the pressure on Excelsior. However, it also emphasizes Excelsior's defence, despite conceding two goals.
Contrary to the speculation surrounding the disciplinary facet of the game, only one yellow card was issued, and to Groningen. Excelsior, on the other hand, demonstrated a clean sheet in terms of disciplinary actions, obtaining no yellow or red cards.
In terms of offsides, Groningen displayed superior discipline, with zero offences as opposed to Excelsior's one. That being said, both teams were relatively well-disciplined, evident from the reduced foul count— Excelsior at seven and Groningen at five.
No substitutions were reported, indicating that both teams maintained faith in their initial line-ups throughout the game.
Based on this review, the defining factors that played a significant role in Groningen's victory were their ability to capitalize on opportunities— as evident from their goal advantage and corner kick dominance— and their proficiency in maintaining discipline. On the other hand, Excelsior seemed to struggle in creating opportunities and penetrating Groningen's defence.
The outcome of this game subtly highlights the importance of factors like goal conversion rate, discipline on the field, and ability to manage pressure, particularly for underdogs in matches.
