In the League One match on May 6th, Airdrieonians FC routed Edinburgh City FC by a significant 4-1 scoreline. The match painted a compelling picture of the teams' strengths and weaknesses, with several illuminating statistics emerging from the game.

With regards to the number of goals scored, the visitors, Airdrieonians, had a commanding lead. The timing of the goals also had an impact on the game's flux, with the early goal in the first half giving the away team the upper hand in directing the flow of the match. Indeed, most of the goals occurred in the second half where the away side scored three out of their total four goals, with the home side scoring their only goal. This suggests that the Airdrieonians were effectively capitalizing on the likely fatigue and possible desperation of the Edinburgh team.

Looking at the distribution of yellow cards, which is an indicator of defensive instability or frustration, the home team had a higher count, with two yellow cards compared to the one received by the visitors. Each card was issued in the second half, which is potentially indicative of an increasingly tense and aggressive match as Edinburgh chased the game from behind.

Interestingly, when we consider corner kicks, both teams were evenly matched with four each. This suggests that both teams had equal opportunities to score from set-pieces. However, an in-depth look may suggest Airdrieonians showed superior ability in target shooting and/or defense against set-pieces.

Fouls, another factor to consider, also saw the home team with a slight lead of one. Five fouls were committed by Edinburgh City FC while there were four by Airdrieonians. This minor difference doesn’t provide a significant disparity but does fall in line with the trend of Edinburgh City FC displaying a more aggressive game.

In conclusion, this fixture presented a dominant display by Airdrieonians FC against the home team. Despite having roughly equal opportunities in terms of corner kicks and committing fewer fouls, Edinburgh City FC was significantly outperformed in terms of goals scored. This, coupled with a larger number of yellow cards, suggests issues in both the offensive and defensive sectors for Edinburgh. Conversely, the ability of Airdrieonians to score quickly and maintain the lead through the game indicates a well-executed game plan, leading to their victory. Both teams will certainly carry these lessons into their future matches in League One.
