In a riveting Cup competition, an away match held on May 24, 2023, at 17:00 EEST saw the Asker SK (home team) succumb to a 0-2 defeat to the visiting side - Baerum SK.

The determining factors of this match were evidently in the goals and corner kicks, showing a difference in striking power and utilisation of set pieces between both teams.

Talking about the critical stages of the game, the first goal for Baerum SK came at a crucial stage in the second half, clocked at 00:52:22. The home team - Asker SK, were unable to recover before they were dealt another blow by Baerum SK who scored the second goal at 01:29:31 into the second half.

Corner kicks, often opportunities for scoring or pressurising the opposition, were dominated by Baerum SK, totalling 9 compared to Asker SK's 4. This indicates that Baerum SK had the upper hand in terms of control and direction of the game, being able to force their way into the opponent's box more frequently.

As the intensity escalated in the second half, all yellow cards were given in this period, with each team receiving 2 yellow cards, a clear reflection of the fierce competition between both sides. This occurrence didn't significantly change the outcome of the match, but it gives an insight into the high level of aggressiveness exhibited by both teams during the contest.

In conclusion, the superior performance of Baerum SK on Asker SK's home ground was the key factor leading to their victory in this Cup game. The well-timed goals and increased number of corner kicks allowed them control, manage and eventually dominate the game flow. Despite the disciplinary issues, that saw both teams receive two yellow cards each, it could not change the course of the game in favour of Asker SK. One can only wonder if a more conservative game approach from Asker might have impacted the game differently.
