In this Scottish Premiership match played on 27th December 2023 between FC Aberdeen and FC Motherwell, FC Aberdeen certainly dominated with a tougher and more fierce offensive game, as proven by the significant difference in shots on target where Aberdeen had 9 compared to Motherwell's 5.

FC Aberdeen's pressure was consistent throughout the game and was visible in the number of corner kicks achieved. They beat Motherwell in this aspect with 5 corner kicks to 2. Their efficient utilization of these set pieces played a key role in their 2-1 victory. Both goals from the Aberdeen side came from assists, this indicates a high degree of player communication and teamwork.

Although FC Aberdeen was strong offensively, they had to resist substantial attacks from their opponents. Hence, the Aberdeen goalie had 4 saves while Motherwell's had to block 8 shots. This illustrates Motherwell's more defensive strategy, with their goalie having to save a higher number of direct attacks.

However, FC Motherwell had more shots off target, with a total of 7 compared to Aberdeen's 2. An area of concern for Motherwell in future matches, as their poor shooting accuracy ultimately affected their scoring opportunities.

Surprisingly, the match did not have any reported yellow or red cards, which suggests well-disciplined gameplay by both teams. Fouls were slightly higher for FC Aberdeen with 10, to Motherwell's 7.

Despite a similar number of total substitutions--three from each side--, it didn't have a huge impact on the overall game dynamics, neither seemed to have effectively used them to change the run of play.

In summary, FC Aberdeen's precision in front of goal and their efficient use of corner plays were crucial in winning the game against FC Motherwell. Meanwhile, Motherwell will need to work on their shooting accuracy for forthcoming matches.
