In the NIFL Premiership match played on December 2nd, 2023, between Dungannon Swifts (home) and Cliftonville (away), Cliftonville delivered a decisive 4-1 victory over Dungannon Swifts, effectively demonstrating their superior on-field performance and tactics.

Despite Dungannon Swifts opening the scoring in the 39th minute of the first half, Cliftonville overtook the home team with an impressive display of offensive prowess in the second half. Cliftonville netted 4 goals, beginning at the 51st and 55th minute, and then further solidifying their dominance with two more goals at 87th and 91st minutes of the match.

The increased aggression from Cliftonville was naturally accompanied by a heightened number of yellow cards. The away team received one yellow card, something the home team managed to avoid, indicating not only Cliftonville's heightened offense but potentially, a more aggressive approach to play as well.

Another noteworthy statistic lies in the 'corner kicks' data. Cliftonville led the count with 9 corner kicks as compared to Dungannon's 5. It indicates the level of aggression maintained by Cliftonville throughout the match and goes to show the threat they posed on the opponent's goal.

In terms of offsides, Cliftonville led the count with 3 offsides while Dungannon Swifts had none. Swifts might have been more cautious in their attack or perhaps less aggressive, which might have contributed to their shortfall in creating scoring opportunities.

In conclusion, besides the glaring 4-1 scoreline, the performance of both teams can also be assessed through the prism of the corner kicks, offsides, and cards. For Cliftonville, the risk of increased aggression, reflected in offsides and yellow cards, was rewarded with higher goal scoring opportunities, as reflected in their corner kicks and the eventual scoreline, thus, overshadowing Dungannon Swifts' early lead.

These statistical details spotlight the differing tactics employed by both teams and provide bettors indicators beyond just the final scoreline for future references. It remains to be seen how these teams will adapt their strategies in future encounters.
