In an intriguing clash in the Romanian Cup on August 31, 2023, Home team - CSM Unirea Slobozia couldn't hold off the rampant Away team - FC Hermannstadt Sibiu. With a final scoreboard showing 2-5 in favor of the visitors, much can be inferred from the underlying stats behind these goals.

CSM Unirea Slobozia started the game strongly, opening the scores at 6:58 into the first half. However, FC Hermannstadt retaliated just before half-time ensuring the break would see both teams at 1-1. An interesting take from this half can be seen in the foul play with the home team picking up their first yellow card at 19:33 while the away team received one just shortly after at 27:13. This displays some level of competitiveness and likely frustration from both teams.

The away side FC Hermannstadt, took the initial lead in the second half, pushing it to 1-2 at 01:01:02 but the home side refused to back down easily, equalizing at 01:28:49. The drama did not end there with two subsequent cards; a yellow for the home team at 01:22:40 likely showcasing higher pressure and attempts to resist the attacks from the visitors.

Interestingly, the home side, CSM Unirea Slobozia, seemed to falter in the overtime, conceding three goals. Two in the last part of the match within a span of approximately 5 minutes and one just when the overtime started. They also collected a yellow card further showing how they were struggling to keep up with the visitors.

The dominance of FC Hermannstadt Sibiu is also seen in the corner kicks with a whopping 10 against the mere 2 of CSM Unirea Slobozia. This is a testament of the aggressive offensive approach of the away team and highlights their effective utilization of set-pieces which would undoubtedly contribute to the final result.

The lack of offside from the home team indicates either a very disciplined offensive line or a lack thereof. FC Hermannstadt recorded just one offside which indicates a calculated approach to penetrate the defence.

Though there were no red cards in the match, indicating that the match was played within acceptable limits, it's notable that there were more yellow cards received by the hosting team. This could point to defensive desperation in attempt to shield against FC Hermannstadt Sibiu’s assault.

In conclusion, FC Hermannstadt Sibiu showcased a dominant performance in both halves of the game and overtime, from scoring goals to winning corners and maintaining discipline. CSM Unirea Slobozia, on the other hand, required improvement in their approach towards the game, particularly when it came to stopping their opponents' opportunities and creating more of their own.
