In the Ekstraklasa match between Warta Poznan and Widzew Lodz, Warta Poznan secured a crucial 2-1 victory at home bolstered by an early duo of goals within the first 12 minutes of the game. Their aggressive play in the initial stages helped them to capitalize on the opportunities and take a lead of 2-0 early on.

It was highly observable that Warta Poznan's attacking grit played an instrumental role in shaping the match's outcome. The quick goals at 00:09:07 and 00:11:51 didn't give Widzew Lodz the chance to settle down. It made their game-plan explicit and clear, that they were not going to permit any form of complacency in defense, even if that incurred a higher foul count. This was evident as they committed a whopping 16 fouls compared to Widzew Lodz's much less aggressive ten.

However, Lodz showed resilience and managed to net a goal in the 44:18th minute mark, closing the gap by 2-1. However, they couldn't further capitalize to equalize the score, even with four corner kicks providing them with opportunities. Lack of conversion reflected a need for better execution of set pieces.

While both teams got one yellow card each with Poznan earning one in the second half at 01:17:56 and Lodz earning one in the first half at 00:20:12, two offsides by Poznan and one by Lodz didn't have significant impact on the game.

Although Poznan lacked in corner kicks, and neither of the team actually saw a red card during the match, Poznan's early dominance and aggressive play, especially in the first half, conclusively tilted the scales in their favor.

In conclusion, the dominating early minutes play, coupled with the home advantage, strategic use of offensive tactics- even if it required committing more fouls, led to Poznan's victory. Despite Widzew Lodz’s commendable resilience, they couldn't overcome the early lead created by Warta Poznan. With Poznan capitalizing their chances, and with the absence of corner kicks not evidently harming their game, the overall team performance data tilts in favor of Poznan for this match.
