Looking at the Liga 1 match between FC Voluntari and FC Universitatea Cluj on 12 May 2024, the defining factor that stands out is the solitary goal scored by Universitatea Cluj in the first half at the 17:07-minute mark. This led to their winning score of 1-0, despite numerically lacking in corner kicks as compared to FC Voluntari.

FC Voluntari continued to show their aggression in this game as demonstrated by their considerable total of 5 corner kicks, yet they were unable to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. In comparison, FC Universitatea Cluj appeared more efficient as they managed to gain the decisive lead without needing any corner kicks, highlighting their tactical effectiveness.

The second half of the match got progressively heated, with a total of 6 yellow cards shared equally between the teams in rather quick succession late-game. FC Universitatea Cluj received their first yellow card of the second half at 59:02, followed closely by FC Voluntari's first at 01:08:59. Perhaps the tense atmosphere and consequent lack of discipline resulted in both teams losing their focus and thus faltering in goal conversion for the remaining half.

As a team, FC Voluntari’s performance was marked with high defensive pressure, which as data suggests, led to high-intensity tackles earning them 3 yellow cards. However, despite their aggressive gameplay and more control over set-piece situations, they failed to secure a goal.

On the flip side, Universitatea Cluj demonstrated tactical play by optimizing their possession and producing a goal without relying heavily on set pieces. However, they too got bogged down by disciplinary issues as evidenced by their share of 3 yellow cards.

On the whole, the goal in the first half was the pivotal point that decided the outcome of the match. FC Universitatea Cluj’s defense held the fort for rest of the match, keeping FC Voluntari’s attacks and set-pieces at bay. The match showcased Universitatea Cluj's disciplined yet aggressive play that won them the match, and Voluntari’s opportunity wastage from set-pieces and aggressive play that ultimately resulted in them losing the game.
