In the Scottish Championship on October 31, 2023, at 19:45 EEST, Airdrieonians FC fell to Dundee United in a hard-fought match. Dundee United managed to secure the only goal of the match in the first half at 19:52, giving Dundee a 1-0 lead which eventually became the final score of the match.

Despite the loss, Airdrieonians FC did make strategic use of their possession, inducing six corner kicks compared to Dundee United's single corner kick. However, the greater number of corner kicks did not translate into goals for Airdrieonians FC, suggesting there is room for improvement in terms of the team’s execution following such opportunities.

Additionally, Airdrieonians FC managed to play a clean game with no offsides or yellow cards being recorded for them. In contrast, Dundee United violated the offside rule three times, but these missed opportunities had no consequence on the final result of the match given their eventual victory.

Interestingly, discipline was a pinnacle of the match, with both Airdrieonians FC and Dundee United not recording any yellow or red cards. This indicates a highly tactical game where both sides were focused on maintaining the structure of their teams without resorting to aggressive tactics.

Based on these stats, what became clear is that the scoring ability or lack thereof, had the most significant impact on the match's outcome. Whilst Airdrieonians FC had more corner kick opportunities, they unfortunately weren’t able to convert these into goals. On the other side, Dundee United took their chance early in the game, and maintained their edge to secure a precious away victory.

This match provides a clear example of how a single goal can shape the outcome of the game when the defensive structure of the teams prevails. Airdrieonians FC will need to work on capitalizing their opportunities in the future to turn dominating stats into match-winning results. Conversely, Dundee United, while they won this match, should work on maintaining their line, to avoid unnecessary offside calls.
