In the Liga 1 match played on October 9, 2023, between FC Universitatea Cluj (home team) and ACS Sepsi OSK (away team), the Cluj team took a hard-fought victory with a 1-0 scoreline. It was a closely contested match marked by disciplined defence from both sides and limited opportunities for goal scoring.

The singular goal was scored by the home team during the early stages of the second half, precisely at 01:21:54, shifting the dynamics of the game and adding pressure on ACS Sepsi OSK. After this, Sepsi OSK adopted a more aggressive stance, evidenced by their two yellow cards received at 01:02:43 and 01:17:54. FC Universitatea Cluj's strategy appeared more consolidated, keeping their composure despite the heightened aggression from Sepsi OSK, which resulted in them collecting two yellow cards later in the game (second half 01:28:32 and 01:30:11).

The statistics indicate a balanced distribution of fouls with 8 committed by the home team and 9 by the away team, illustrating an equally matched competitive spirit and intensity, further confirmed by an equal number of yellow cards for both teams. Neither team saw a red card signalling good control over their discipline, despite the pressure experienced during the game.

Apart from the scoreline, the match was statistically dominated by FC Universitatea Cluj. They won 3 corner kicks compared to Sepsi's single one. Maybe the question here should be about how much more the Cluj side could have capitalized on their opportunities and turns of possession.

The home team was also flagged twice for being offside, against none for the away team. This noteworthy evidence possibly suggests the high pressing and aggressive forward play from Universitatea Cluj, reflecting their offensive approach in contrast to Sepsi OSK's more conservative strategy.

Overall, the elevated detail of aggression was a significant factor that affected the game's outcome along with the home side's offensive strategy resulting in the winning goal and maintaining a disciplined defence to keep a clean sheet. FC Universitatea Cluj and ACS Sepsi OSK showcased an equal level of intensity making it a thrilling encounter for the spectators despite the low scoring match. However, FC Universitatea Cluj edged out with their better tactics and utilization of opportunities while reducing the opposing side's scoring chances, showcasing their superiority on the day.
