In what was a tightly contested 1st Division match between Fredrikstad FK and Kongsvinger IL, both teams fought valiantly to share the spoils with a 1-1 draw at full-time. The game was neck and neck and offered little to separate the sides in terms of statistics.

The home team, Fredrikstad FK, drew first blood in the second half at 47 minutes and 33 seconds. Their goal, the result of a well-executed play, put them in the driving seat. However, the Kongsvinger IL side showed their mettle by equalizing in the second half at 86 minutes and 36 seconds. This ensured they walk away with at least one point from this away fixture.

Despite both teams finding the back of the net once, the number of corner kicks by each team provided more insight into their offensive strategies. Fredrikstad FK edged out Kongsvinger IL in terms of corner kicks by a margin of 5 to 4. However, whether they could fully capitalize on these opportunities and convert them into valuable shots on target, remains to be evaluated further.

Disciplinarianly, Fredrikstad FK was the only side to have a player receive a yellow card at the 80-minute mark. Kongsvinger IL maintained a cleaner sheet, refraining from any hard challenges that merited a booking, which might indicate their more careful and focused approach to tackles or perhaps less aggressive defense.

The overall performance of both teams was relatively evenly balanced in this match. Neither team managed to pull away and establish a substantial lead at any point during the match. Fredrikstad FK showed strong resistance at home, but Kongsvinger IL demonstrated their ability to match that intensity, even on an away pitch.

A significant factor contributing to the final outcome of this match is undoubtedly the timing of both teams' goals. Fredrikstad FK's early goal in the second half would have likely boosted their confidence, but Kongsvinger IL's late equalizer could have potentially deflated that uplift in spirit.

In summary, while Fredrikstad FK showed a hint of more assertive play with a higher number of corners and an early goal in the latter half, Kongsvinger IL exhibited resilient gameplay, evident by their clean disciplinary record and an important late equalizing goal.
