This highly thrilling match was between the home team, IK Start, and the away team, Stabaek Fotball, in the 1st Division football competition on 16th June 2024.

IK Start gave an outstanding performance and won the game with four goals, and Stabaek Fotball ended with three goals. IK Start's aggressive start was evident with a goal in the 9th minute of the first half, but Stabaek immediately retaliated with a goal of their own, 2 minutes later. IK Start registered another goal just seconds before the halftime whistle, ending the half in their favor.

As the second half began, the home team extended their lead with two quick goals within less than 10 minutes between them. Stabaek Fotball demonstrated their tenacity towards the latter half of the second half and put two more goals on the board, but they were unable to level up the score.

In terms of aggression, IK Start received four yellow cards, all in the second half, which indicates a possible loss of composure under pressure as they were trying to maintain their lead. The increased fouling may have also been due to attempts to disrupt Stabaek Fotball's rhythm, though this did not lead to a red card situation. Stabaek Fotball, on the other hand, kept their discipline without incurring any cards.

When it came down to offensive opportunities, the corner kicks were evenly matched, with only one more for the away team. As an offensive strategy, however, the home team seems to have been more offside, indicating a bit more risk-taking in seeking goal-scoring opportunities.

In conclusion, despite the match's high intensity, IK Start efficiently utilized their goal opportunities in contrast with Stabaek Fotball. Factors that likely contributed significantly to the match outcome include their early goals and the aggressive, risk-taking offensive strategy, despite the potential downsides reflected in their disciplinary record and offsides. Contrastingly, Stabaek Fotball's comeback attempt fell short, despite their fewer disciplinary issues and similar opportunities from corner kicks.
