This Cup match between Fredrikstad FK and Viking FK was a tense face-off, lessons of which could be instructive for football bettors as it revolved around the strategic use of openings, and the consequential yellow cards.

Fredrikstad FK, the home team, began the match with a promising start as they successfully scored a goal just 15 minutes and 48 seconds into the first half of the match, putting them one up without any return from Viking FK at that time. This goal, despite being an early lead, didn't set the rhythm for the rest of the match for Fredrikstad as they failed to capitalize on their momentum.

Viking FK equalized the score roughly 22 minutes later, at the 37 minutes and 34 seconds mark. This goal seemed to ignite a more aggressive stance from Viking FK, as they received their only yellow card just two minutes after levelling the score. Despite this transgression, it didn't slow their pace nor affect their strategic focus.

The second half saw Viking FK take the lead at the 33 minutes and 51 seconds mark making the score 1-2 and leading to their eventual victory. However, that did not mean Fredrikstad FK folded easily. The home team continued to fight which led to them receiving two yellow cards, at 53 minutes 22 seconds and 1 hour 25 minutes 7 seconds, reflecting their aggressive attempts to at least level the score in response.

The teams were nearly even in terms of corner kicks, with Fredrikstad FK earning two and Viking FK earning one, indicating comparable offensive strategies. However, the crucial factor was Viking FK's ability to convert their more aggressive and risk-taking approach into goals and ultimately a victory, despite having fewer corner kicks.

No red cards were issued during the match indicating both teams maintained a level of discipline despite the tense atmosphere and high stakes, while 3 yellow cards were issued, two of which were for the Fredrikstad FK.

In terms of substitutions, it is a missing factor within the provided dataset and thus its impact on the match's outcome cannot be evaluated in this particular analysis.

In conclusion, despite having less control of the ball during the match as indicated by the number of corner kicks; Viking FK won the match by leveraging opportunities that came their way more effectively. Risk-taking and a more aggressive approach in this case paid off which gives insight to football bettors that sometimes the key to winning lies more in risk-taking and less in ball control as the latter does not necessarily guarantee goals conversion – which is the ultimate determinant of a match outcome.
