Stabaek Fotball won the match against Sandnes-Ulf by 3-1 in the 1st Division contest on June 9, 2024. The overall performance from both teams was commendable but the home team seemed to be a notch higher in terms of strategy and execution.

Stabaek Fotball's dominant gameplay was evident in the higher number of goals (3 as compared to Sandnes-Ulf's 1), more shots on target (7 opposed to 5), and larger tally of assists (2 vs 1 of Sandnes-Ulf). It was clear that the home team's offensive play was more focused and fruitful.

On the other hand, Sandnes-Ulf fought hard and the stats mirror that as they only succumbed to 3 goals, despite Stabaek Fotball's relentless strikes. Part of this resilience could be attributed to the shots off targets (4), goalkeeper saves (4), and relatively fewer fouls (8).

Speaking of defensive strategies, one aspect or data that stands out is the substitutions made by both teams. Sandnes-Ulf used their bench more effectively with 5 substitutions as opposed to Stabaek Fotball's 2. However, it was Stabaek's tight control on fouls, committing only 12 fouls compared to Sandnes-Ulf's 8, that potentially gave them the edge.

Moreover, Stabaek Fotball had better control of the corners with them winning 5 corner kicks compared to 3 from Sandnes-Ulf. This may have contributed to increasing the pressure on the away team, aiding the home team in their victory.

Regarding the disciplinary statistics, both teams presented a clean sheet in terms of red and yellow cards, which is noteworthy. Offsides were low for both teams, which indicates a disciplined approach from both sides.

To conclude, the critical factors that decided the match's outcome include Stabaek Fotball's precise shooting, effective use of corners, controlled fouls, and importantly, converting more of their shots on target into goals. Despite the defeat, Sandnes-Ulf showed promise and resilience, particularly in their defensive gameplay and efficient use of substitutions. The teams' performance augurs well for an equally gripping contest in their future clashes.
