The Eliteserien match on 04 June 2023, 15:00 EEST between Valerenga (Home team) and FK Bodo/Glimt (Away team) ended with a victory for Bodo/Glimt 3-1. The first goal of the match was scored by the away team just over the half-hour mark (31:28) putting Valerenga on the back foot very early in the game.

Despite Valerenga having more fouls (8 in total) compared to Bodo/Glimt's 11, they couldn't put the pressure on the away team to concede goals. This is primarily because corner kicks—an important metric as they often result in scoring opportunities—was dominated by Bodo/Glimt. They had two corner kicks compared to Valerenga's solitary one.

Looking at the distribution of goals, it is evident that the away team, Bodo/Glimt had a well-structured game plan. Their precision in the final third of the field it seems, paid dividends. They struck early in both the halves (48:06 and 1:06:34 into the second half) essentially taking out the fight in Valerenga. It wasn't until the 90th minute that Valerenga managed to claw one back, but it was too little too late.

Coming to the discipline aspect of the game, it was a relatively clean match with no red cards issued. However, Bodo/Glimt did see more yellow cards than the home side (2 compared to 1) indicative of their aggressive playstyle. Interestingly, both of Bodo/Glimt's yellows were in the second half, hinting at a possible rise in intensity by the team to secure their lead.

Offsides were even for both teams, with one apiece. This stat suggests that neither team stretched themselves defensively or perhaps both teams played a high line. Of course, with only one offside each, it's clear neither was impactful toward the final outcome.

A combination of precise attacking, seizing goal opportunities, aggressive play, and a slight edge in set-pieces led Bodo/Glimt to a well-deserved three points away from home. The timing and sequence of their goals seemingly demoralized the home side, combined with their higher number of set-pieces, proved decisive in this game.

Looking ahead, Valerenga may need to revisit their strategies, given their inability to convert fouls into meaningful offensive opportunities or capitalizing on the attacking set-pieces. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt's style, even though it results in greater number of cards, was effective in maintaining a comfortable edge throughout the match.
