The Liga 2 confrontation on the 7th of October 2023 pitted CSM Slatina against FC Buzau, ended in a thrilling 1-2 victory for the away team, as the statistical insights reveal. The squad performances showcased notable effective counter-attacking play from FC Buzau and a battling performance from CSM Slatina that unfortunately fell short.

From the outset, it was FC Buzau that managed to find the back of the net first, at the 31:59 minute of the first half which set them ahead early in the match. Successful continuation of aggressive play allowed FC Buzau to double their lead at the 46:12 minute mark in the second half. Undeterred, CSM Slatina clawed a goal back at 54:41, creating a tense atmosphere for the remainder of the game. However, there were no further goals to be had by either side, leaving FC Buzau as the deserved winners.

An interesting factor in the dynamics of this game was the volume of corner kicks. CSM Slatina had created significantly more corners, 4 in total compared to the meager 1 of FC Buzau, indicating a higher amount of pressure supplied by the home team. However, it would appear that FC Buzau was more successful in capitalizing on fewer opportunities, an indicator of a highly efficient counter-attacking style of play.

In terms of discipline, both teams could be said to have had their troubles. FC Buzau collected a total of four yellow cards over the course of the game, while CSM Slatina, likely due to being on the backfoot for a majority of the match, amounted three yellow cards, all occurring in the second half. It is noteworthy that while playing aggressively may have helped FC Buzau in solidifying their offensive, it did lead to more fouls being committed. Thankfully, neither team saw a player being sent off.

In addition, the home team was caught offside once, indicating some attempts at slipping past the defensive line in an aggressive offensive strategy.

In conclusion, FC Buzau triumphed thanks to an effective, albeit aggressive, counter-attacking strategy. On the other hand, CSM Slatina paid the price for their inefficiency in front of goal and should look into more effective utilization of their corner kicks and better controlling of the aggression that led to their collection of yellow cards in the future.
