In this tightly contested Eliteserien clash, both KFUM Oslo and SK Brann remained goalless, ending the match in a hard-fought 0-0 draw on 28th April 2024.

Despite possessing numerous opportunities, both teams seemed to struggle with their shooting accuracy. This is underlined by the absence of any statistical data on shots either on or off target from both sides, suggesting the attack of both teams was left wanting. A possible reason for this could be the conservative strategies both teams employed to strengthen their defense and avoid conceding goals.

In terms of discipline, the match was far from calm. KFUM Oslo received three yellow cards, with two of those coming in the first half at 39:06 and 50:37 respectively, and the final one shown in the second half at 1:35:45. SK Brann also suffered in disciplinary issues, picking up two minor offenses, and, even more detrimentally, the only red card of the match. The unnamed player's dismissal in the second half significantly dented SK Brann's opportunities to take all three points back home, forcing them to defend in numbers and play remarkably conservatively.

The home team's three yellow cards suggest aggressive play, which can be effective at disrupting the tempo and control of the opposing side. However, it did not appear to have a significant impact on the match's outcome, with neither team able to break the deadlock.

In terms of set-play opportunities, KFUM Oslo managed to earn two corner kicks. This minor dominance could have been an area for them to exploit, especially against the 10-men of SK Brann during the latter part of the game. However, without data on goal attempts, it remains unclear how threatening their delivery was from these set plays.

The lack of goals, shots on target, and shots off target points to a match of defensive organization and caution instead of daring attacking play. The higher level of corner kicks attained by KFUM Oslo, and the fact they were playing against 10-men for a significant portion of the second half, might have implied an offensive advantage on their part. However, the failure to convert these advantages into goals resulted in a goalless draw.

In conclusion, while KFUM Oslo had amassed substantial set-pieces and an extra player following the red card dealt to SK Brann, these were not utilized effectively. Regardless, both sides managed to showcase their defensive capabilities in maintaining clean sheets. For future games, both teams would look at improving their attack and discipline for a better shot at securing all three points.
