In a tightly contested match between Sogndal IL and Sandnes-Ulf on April 15, 2023, in the 1st Division, Sogndal IL managed to secure a 1-0 victory. The event highlighted the home team's effectiveness in capitalising on chances and also their gritty defence.

The match had only a single deciding goal, which came early in the first half (00:31:48), from Sogndal IL. This early lead gave Sogndal a significant advantage, allowing them to control the pace of the game and put pressure on Sandnes-Ulf to equalise, leaving them vulnerable to potential counter-attacks.

Although the teams were neck and neck concerning disciplinary matters, both Vinzaglio and Sandnes-Ulf collected two yellow cards each, the distribution had varied impacts. Sandnes-Ulf's first yellow card came earlier in the first half at 00:36:28, just minutes after the opening goal, which could have contributed to disrupting their momentum or their strategy to equalise.

The statistics regarding fouls and corner kicks uncover another facet of the game. Sogndal IL had two additional corner kicks than Sandnes-Ulf (9 to 5), indicating that they had more attacking opportunities in the opposition's half. The fact that Sandnes-Ulf was not flagged for offside even once reveals that they might have been more cautious in their attacking strategy or that Sogndal IL was well organized in their defensive line. Meanwhile, Sogndal IL registered a higher number of fouls (11) compared to Sandnes-Ulf (9), which may indicate extra pressure from Sogndal's defensive efforts.

The match had no substitutions or goals from the away team that might have made a difference. Similarly, both goalkeeping sides maintained clean sheets except for the single winning goal.

Overall, while this was a closely contested match, Sogndal IL's ability to take advantage of the early lead in the first half balanced with strong defence and more attacking opportunities resulted in their slim victory over Sandnes-Ulf.
