The 1st Division game held on April 1, 2024, between Mjondalen IF and Raufoss Fotball IL ended in a 1-1 draw. As the home team, Mjondalen IF was the first to get on the scoreboard at 2 minutes 20 seconds into the first half, but Raufoss equalized in the second half after 33 minutes and 30 seconds.

Despite the score, there were some disparate performances between the two teams. Raufoss was more aggressive offensively, as evidenced by their superior corner kicks. They managed to secure nine as against the meager two corner kicks awarded to Mjondalen IF. This is indicative of Raufoss Fotball IL's ability to apply pressure and keep the ball predominantly in the opposition half, thus creating more scoring opportunities.

However, the Fouls and cards count tells another tale, painting a dogged picture of a match that was embroiled in disciplinary issues. Mjondalen IF received the most penalty cards. They accumulated three yellow cards and one red card, while Raufoss Fotball IL had two yellow cards and no red cards.

Significantly, the red card for Mjondalen IF came late in the game. This sudden manpower disadvantage left them fending off against Raufoss's offense, consequently tipping the balance of the game in Raufoss's favor.

Also worth mentioning is that both sides seemed to lose discipline during the second half, as evidenced by the fact that both teams received most of their yellow cards post-half time. Mjondalen IF had three yellow cards in the second half, and Raufoss Fotball IL earned one of their two during the latter half as well.

In conclusion, while Raufoss Fotball IL managed a higher pressure and attacking play, the disciplinary issues from both teams, aggressive play, and the cost of losing a player at a crucial stage, balanced out the match, resulting in the 1-1 draw. Mjondalen's early lead and home advantage were eventually neutralized by Raufoss's persistence and superior offensive play shown by corner kick count, but an even more ebbing factor was Mjondalen's loss of a player right when cohesion and teamwork was most needed.
