This was a fiercely contested Eliteserien match between the home team FK Haugesund and the away team Kristiansund BK on May 16, 2024 (16:00 EEST). While the scoreline may suggest a close match, deeper analysis of the key data factors paints a rather different picture.

The match was distinctly marked by FK Haugesund's dominance as they emerged victorious with a 1-0 victory. The only goal of the game came post interval at 47 minutes and 34 seconds, signifying FK Haugesund's impressive start to the second half which proved decisive.

Moreover, the statistical report of corners taken also supports FK Haugesund's offensive dominance. They executed a much greater number of corner kicks, 7, compared to Kristiansund's mere 2. This suggests more aggression and possession in the final third from FK Haugesund.

Interestingly, the number of fouls committed by each team was roughly even - with 5 fouls by the home team and 4 fouls by the away team. However, it's worth noting that Kristiansund BK players picked up more yellow cards - 2 to 1, which indicates a more turbulent lack of discipline on their part, severely affecting their game momentum and strategy.

Both yellow cards shown to the Kristiansund BK team came at crucial junctures in the game - one early on in the first half at 17 minutes and 1 second, and the other in the mid second half at 57 minute and 5 seconds. These moments of indiscipline left them a player down, inevitably creating more space and time for the FK Haugesund players.

Defensively, neither team had a player sent off, indicating that both squads were generally disciplined in their tackling and avoided dangerous play despite the tension of the match.

In conclusion, FK Haugesund’s player took better advantage of their opportunities and were more disciplined, rightfully earning their 1-0 win. In spite of several attempts from Kristiansund to level the scoreline, FK Haugesund’s better overall performance suggests that the final result was not a surprise but a just reflection of the match.
