In a rather startling display of sheer dominance, CFR Cluj has handed out a 4-1 defeat to FC Rapid Bucuresti in the Liga 1 matchup on April 6, 2024. The statistical data of this match plays its part in painting a striking picture of just how superior Cluj was in this contest.

Straight off the bat, the away side was both aggressive and efficient in front of goal. They netted four goals in the first half itself leaving no chance for FC Rapid to make any comeback in the second half. Opening the scoring only three minutes 37 seconds into the game and expanding the gap at seven minutes nine seconds, the visitors took a commanding position early on. The third goal came at 35 minutes 40 seconds, and just before the break, they added a fourth.

In contrast, FC Rapid Bucuresti only managed to score a consolation goal quite late into the second half after 82 minutes 31 seconds. The difference of goals is also reflected in the number of corner kicks awarded to each team, three for the home side versus four for the away side, again demonstrating the higher offensive play from CFR Cluj.

Besides outclassing FC Rapid in terms of goals and attacks, CFR Cluj also proved to be better disciplined in terms of offside. Both sides were caught offside only once. However, this reveals no less competitive edge. Rather, it indicates the effective deployment and control of tactics by both teams.

Nevertheless, there is some room for CFR Cluj to improve their conduct, as they collected three yellow cards, two more than those shown to FC Rapid. Their aggressive play also resulted in more fouls, tallying 12 as opposed to FC Rapid Bucuresti's seven fouls.

Despite the torrent of goals, one would be remiss not to acknowledge FC Rapid's fighting spirit as they did not back down on the match's physical front.

Going by the stats, the half-time scoring spree significantly impacted the match's outcome. Scoring four goals in the first 45 minutes, CFR Cluj effectively sealed the match's result, leaving FC Rapid Bucuresti with too steep a hill to climb in the second half.

In conclusion, the away team's performance, punctuated by early goals, proved lethal in this matchup, hence their comprehensive victory. On the other hand, FC Rapid Bucuresti could do with better defense while appreciating their efforts on discipline. This will be important in their future matches if they aim to climb the Liga 1 ladder.
