The clash between SK Vard Haugesund and FK Eik Tonsberg in the 2nd Division took an unfortunate turn for Haugesund. Despite their spirited effort, they ended on the losing side after a 1-0 defeat.

As per the statistical data, Haugesund unfortunately couldn't convert any of their corners into goals. With a total of 8 corner kicks, one higher than Tonsberg's 7, Haugesund had a slight edge in this metric. However, conversions matter and this didn’t reflect in the final outcome. The away side, though inferior in corner kicks, was able to score a goal in the second half at 01:28:42, securing their victory.

Meanwhile, it’s quite intriguing to note that despite Haugesund maintaining a clean offside record, they still couldn't strike a goal. Tonsberg, being flagged offside once, didn’t let it interfere with their offensive thrust and managed to sneak a goal in. This reinforces that it's not always the numerical superiority that wins matches but the efficient use of resources and loopholes in the opponent's defence.

Another worrying statistic for Haugesund was their disciplinary record for the match. Two yellow cards were shown to them in the second half. The timings of the bookings at 01:11:53 and 01:33:52 indicate a high-pressure situation where foul play might have jeopardized their structure and gameplan.

In contrast, Tonsberg maintained a clean disciplinary record, with no yellow or red cards. This could've given them a psychological advantage, as the continuous pressure from the home side could lead to desperation and ultimately mistakes.

To conclude, this game was a manifestation that matches are not won solely by dominating possession or statistics, but on capitalizing on opportunities and playing disciplined football. It’s important to note that FK Eik Tonsberg did well despite being less dominant in certain aspects such as corner kicks.

In this case, FK Eik Tonsberg's efficiency at converting their opportunities and their better discipline had the most significant impact on the match. As they walk away with three points, Haugesund will be left to regroup and analyze where it went wrong for them. They'll need to focus more on precision and less on infractions in their forthcoming outings.
