In the Ekstraklasa competition on August 26th, 2023, Puszcza Niepolomice secured a narrow victory against LKS Lodz with a score of 2-1. Analyzing the available data reveals an intense match, characterized not only by goal scoring but also by an unusually high number of yellow cards, mostly drawn by the away team, LKS Lodz.

Let's break down the major factors that contributed to Puszcza Niepolomice's win. A critical aspect in this contest was the timing of the goals. Puszcza Niepolomice scored their first goal within the first half (00:24:45) which allowed them to gain momentum and hold a psychological boost early in the match. After the equalizer by LKS Lodz in the second half (00:45:44), Puszcza Niepolomice regrouped and scored again (01:12:33), which was the winning goal.

When looking at the disciplinary actions taken throughout the game, it's clear that LKS Lodz's lack of discipline potentially influenced the outcome. They drew a remarkable 8 yellow cards in contrast to Puszcza Niepolomice's 4. The frequency of these infractions reduces the flow of play and momentum for the team. It's worth noting that LKS Lodz's majority of yellow cards were handed out in the first half, which could have disrupted their gameplay.

Moreover, it was found that LKS Lodz's inability to keep their discipline under control eventually lead to a red card, putting them at a numerical disadvantage, which is a game-changing factor.

However, neither team differentiated itself with regard to corner kicks, each receiving three throughout the match. Likewise, there's only one foul difference with Puszcza Niepolomice committing 10 and LKS Lodz 9, suggesting a comparable level of aggressiveness in their defensive play.

In conclusion, despite a fairly similar level of aggression and strategic play from both teams, Puszcza Niepolomice's win can be attributed to the timing of their goals, particularly the decisive one in the second half. LKS Lodz's major downfall was their lack of discipline, reflected in their high number of yellow cards and the consequential red card, therefore changing the pace and balance of the match in Puszcza Niepolomice's favor.
