In an intense Liga 1 match on the 30th of April, FCSB emerged as the narrow victors against Universitatea Craiova with a final score of 2-1, despite being outweighed on several statistical parameters such as corner kicks and yellow cards.

The match was a tale of two halves with the away team, FCSB, scoring both their goals in each half - the first at the 43:51 minute mark of the first half and the second during the 23:35 minute mark of the second half. Universitatea Craiova was able to find only one goal to answer back at the 33:49 minute mark of the second half, which underlines their failure in converting opportunities to goals throughout the 90 minutes of the game.

What is worth noting in this match is the sheer number of fouls committed by both teams, having forced the referee to issue yellow cards 11 times - 4 for the home team and 7 for the away team. It's clear that the game was a physical one, marked by several infringements, effectively breaking the fluidity of the match. While FCSB played a more aggressive style of football, as indicated by their higher number of yellow cards, it ultimately didn't result in dismissal, since no red cards were issued.

An interesting aspect to highlight is the corner kick statistics. Universitatea Craiova took 12 corner kicks while FCSB only managed 4. However, the home team was not able to capitalize, reflecting poorly on their set-piece strategy. Meanwhile, the away team, despite having only a third of corner kicks as their opponents, brought an efficient attacking game to the field, which seemed to translate their fewer opportunities into more goals.

In conclusion, while Universitatea Craiova dominated in terms of generating offensive opportunities, as represented by the corner kicks, and maintained a cleaner approach in terms of fewer fouls, they struggled to convert these opportunities into crucial goals. On the other hand, FCSB managed to notch a win by making the most of their fewer chances and maintaining a robust defence, even though they played a more aggressive and fouling-prone game. It was, indeed, a match where efficacy decided the outcome rather than opportunities.

As such, bettors dwelling on this match would notice the importance of not only considering the number of opportunities generated or fouls committed by the teams but also their ability to convert those chances into goals and manage their aggressive plays.
