Looking back at the match between CSM Politehnica Iasi and CFR Cluj in Liga 1 on 11th November 2023, we can see an exhilarating performance from both teams. The final scoreline stood at 3-3, reflecting the tightness of the competition.

CSM Politehnica Iasi took an early lead with quick goals in the first half, at 00:10:34 and 00:21:34. However, CFR Cluj displayed their resilience by leveling the score at 2-2 with goals at 00:26:27 and 00:38:08 before taking a temporary lead with a third goal at 00:43:47. CSM responded well in the second half, equalizing at 01:01:25.

From a disciplinary perspective, both teams had an equal number of yellow cards (three each). Whereas the home team acquired two of their caution cards in the second half, CFR got their respective yellow violations late in the second half. This might have impaired their play and defensive positioning, despite the absence of red cards.

In term of corner kicks, CSM Politehnica Iasi totted up eight, outperforming CFR Cluj’s five. This showed that Iasi had more attacking opportunities but lacked the conversion rate. Their strategy of pressing their opponent and putting them under pressure was evident, given the number of corner opportunities they created.

Despite having no offsides, CSM Politehnica Iasi committed a total of nine fouls. In contrast, CFR Cluj, who were called offside four times, committed a higher number of fouls (12). The worn-out control in defensive plays from both teams; this is apparent from their substantial foul counts.

The data not only paints a picture of a high-scoring and competitive match but also highlights how certain tactical decisions and discipline, or lack thereof, can swing a game. Given that no team could convert their chances into a definitive lead, the focus was on defensive lapses, evidenced by the level of fouls and yellow cards. While CSM Politehnica Iasi's corner kick advantage could have been a crucial factor in their goal scoring, the failure to capitalize proved costly. Similarly, CFR Cluj's offsides hindered their sustained attacks and possible goal-scoring opportunities. Overall, this was hard-fought draw and both teams had their moments of dominance, but ultimately, defensive shortcomings cost both teams the win.
