In this intense Cup match between FK Gjovik-Lyn and IK Start, FK Gjovik-Lyn pulled off a slim victory with a 1-0 win. The decisive goal came late, into the second half at 01:15:30. The match statistics suggest a performance level from both teams, where any side could have emerged victorious on a different day.

FK Gjovik-Lyn's defense should be given due credit as they were able to withstand IK Start's numerous high-pressure situations. Even though IK Start won more corner kicks, having eight in total compared to FK Gjovik-Lyn's three, they weren’t able to convert any of these chances to goals. IK Start's higher number of offsides (2 against 1 from FK Gjovik-Lyn) indicates a more aggressive offensive strategy, but the home team's defense held strong.

Also noteworthy was the discipline issue for IK Start, getting three yellow cards as compared to two for FK Gjovik-Lyn. The timing of these cards, especially the two yellow cards in the first half for IK Start, may have affected their game plan by instilling a more cautious approach to avoid a red card situation, potentially limiting their performance on the pitch.

On the other hand, FK Gjovik-Lyn's two yellow cards came quite late in the second half, at 01:25:22 and 01:27:45, which may have had less impact on their game as by that time, they were already leading the game.

In short, FK Gjovik-Lyn was able to secure a tight match by taking advantage of one key scoring opportunity, while effectively shutting down IK Start's numerous yet unfruitful attacks. IK Start seemed to be the more aggressive team, but they were unable to convert their opportunities, probably due to a combination of strong defense from the home team and their own discipline issues. The game was a clear example of how discipline, precision, and effectively taken scoring chances can make a decisive impact on the outcome of a football match.
