In this FNL First League tussle on 08th October 2023, Chernomorets Novorossiysk edged past FC Leningradets, finishing with a slender 1-0 victory. The game was a tight affair, characterized by a high level of discipline, with no red or yellow cards issued throughout the match.

Looking at the match statistics, FC Leningradets dominated in terms of shots and shots on target. With 8 shots in total and 3 on target, compared to Chernomorets' 5 shots, 2 on target, it might initially seem like the home team was the more attacking side. However, the only goal recorded came from the visitors, betraying a more efficient use of their chances.

The goalkeeping stats lend further support to this conclusion. The away goalkeeper made 3 crucial saves, essentially shutting out Leningradets' attack, while the home goalkeeper could only account for one save.

Another significant aspect was the number of fouls committed. FC Leningradets recorded more fouls (9) than Chernomorets Novorossiysk (6). This could indicate a more aggressive approach from the home side and could partly explain why they failed to convert their chances into a goal.

The corner kicks were fairly split, with Leningradets having one more than Chernomorets. However, neither team was able to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities.

Considering subsititions, Leningradets made three changes, likely trying to spark a goal, while Chernomorets only made one substitution, suggesting a greater consistency and possibly superior fitness levels.

Surprisingly, despite losing, the home team showed good discipline in terms of staying onside (only once going offside) whereas Chernomorets Novorossiysk was flagged twice. However, this seems to have had very little bearing on the final score.

In conclusion, Chernomorets Novorossiysk performed more efficiently and demonstrated better defensive organisation to grind out a victory against FC Leningradets who, while showing promising signs in terms of overall attacking play, lacked the precision when it came to scoring.
