The match between FCV Farul Constanta and FC UTA Arad, in Liga 1 on October 26, 2023, ended in a evenly poised 2-2 draw, that was marked by some fascinating plays and surprising tactics. While both the teams were neck and neck in terms of goals, there were certain critical factors which influenced the outcome of the match.

Firstly, a key factor was the timing and pacing of goals. FC UTA Arad took an early lead, scoring their first goal at 6 minutes and 7 seconds. This was quickly countered by Farul Constanta who struck their first goal within 23 minutes and 35 seconds to level the proceedings. What's interesting is that Arad was quick to regain the lead, striking their second goal within just 3 minutes of Constanta’s equalizer. However, Constanta took more time, scoring their second goal well into the second half, possibly after reassessing their strategies during halftime.

In terms of offensive plays, Farul Constanta seemed to have the upper hand indicated by their 10 corner kicks compared to UTA Arad's 3. The substantial number of corner kicks also suggests that the home team had more possession and control over the game, indicating more offensive play.

However, discipline was an area where Farul Constanta fell short. The Constanta side ended up with two yellow cards in the second half, which may have led to more cautious play and impacted the team’s aggressiveness in the latter half. In contrast, Arad was more disciplined, with just a single yellow card.

Neither side had to deal with the setback of a red card, which is noteworthy. This would have kept the team numbers even and game flow intact.

Reading into these statistical parameters, and understanding the timing, tactics and team discipline, it seems that despite the home advantage and more offensive play, FCV Farul Constanta’s lack of discipline and slower pace in scoring their equalizer led to a missed opportunity to potentially secure a win. FC UTA Arad's early goals and better discipline, while not allowing them to win, at least kept them in the game resulting in a draw. The match is a clear demonstration of the idea that possession and offensive plays alone do not render a win; timing, goal scoring pace and discipline play pivotal roles in shaping the match outcome.
