In a nail-biting Cup encounter, Sotra SK edged out Sandnes-Ulf in a fierce glaring match, securing a 2-1 victory at home.

Sotra SK managed to secure an early advantage, scoring their first goal in the 14th minute, while a solid offensive performance in the first half granted them their second goal at the 25th minute. That gave them an edge in their performance over Sandnes-Ulf. The early goal certainly set the tone for the home team's game, elevating its offensive momentum in the first half.

However, the second half of the match told a different story, as Sandnes-Ulf managed to slide a goal past Sotra SK's defense in the 67th minute, creating a high-tension atmosphere for the remainder of the match. Despite this, they could not complete a full comeback to equalize the score.

Analyzing the disciplinary actions during the match, the home side's lack of discipline seems noticeable as they received four yellow cards, all in the second half. It hints towards their possible defensive strategic maneuver to maintain their lead, leveraging fouls to break the momentum and rhythm of Sandnes-Ulf's offensive play.

Turning to the set-pieces, Sandnes-Ulf dominated with a total of 10 corner kicks, exhibiting their persistent offensive pressure against Sotra SK. However, they could not capitalize on these opportunities as efficiently as needed to change the game's outcome. On the other hand, Sotra SK received only four corners but presented a significant threat with their efficient goal conversion in the first half.

In conclusion, despite their lack of discipline reflected by yellow cards and less possession reflected in the corner kicks, Sotra SK’s efficient attacking execution in the first half proved decisive in securing their victory. On Sandnes-Ulf’s end, until they manage to better utilize their set-piece and goal-scoring opportunities, it will remain a considerable challenge for them to overturn such matches going forward.
