The recent Russian Cup duel between PFC Sochi and CSKA Moscow turned out to be a high-tension yet tactical game of football that eventually saw CSKA Moscow edging out their opponents by one goal. The final score stood at 5-4 to CSKA Moscow.
Offensively both teams were robust, with nine goals scored in total. However, even with the similar foul count of 12 each and Sochi having three corner kicks to Moscow's five, the homesteaders were unable to capitalize enough on their set-piece opportunities swaying the outcome to favor CSKA Moscow.
PFC Sochi refused to back down and made multiple desperate attempts to break CSKA Moscow's resilient defense. This reflects in the fact that Sochi was called offside on three separate occasions, possibly due to their aggressive forward play. These offsides halted any momentum built by Sochi in the match, disrupting their gameplay which eventually led to a negative impact on the final outcome.
It's important to note that CSKA Moscow maintained a clean record regarding offsides throughout the match. This illustrates the disciplined approach they adopted in their attacking game, meticulously calculating each run and pass to maintain their forward thrust without letting the opponent's defense catch them offside. This discipline not only helped them in their attack but also prevented unnecessary stoppages that could have given Sochi any undeserved breaks.
On a disciplinary marksheet, it was evident that CSKA Moscow was the team that was more foul-prone, shown by three of its players receiving yellow cards. This counter-intuitive situation where the winning team had more bookable offenses is rare but signifies the intense pressure the team was under and how much they were compelled to push the limits to stay ahead in the game.
Although PFC Sochi showcased a clean disciplinary record with no yellow or red cards, the lack of resilient defense and the inability to capitalise on their set-pieces and forward plays made the difference in the end.
To conclude, despite a lesser number of goals, fouls roughly equal on both sides, and no direct send-offs, it was CSKA Moscow's discipline in terms of avoiding offsides and strategical gameplay that tipped the scales in their favor.
