In this closely matched Scottish Premiership encounter between St Mirren FC and St. Johnstone FC on the 24th of February, St Mirren managed a comfortable 2-0 win despite statistical evidence suggesting a neck-and-neck battle.

St. Mirren FC managed its first goal quite early in the first half - just 35 minutes and 19 seconds into the game, which certainly set the tone for the rest of the match. The second goal came later, in the 63rd minute of the second half, paving the way to a secured victory for St Mirren.

What stands out in this match is not just the clean goals scored by St Mirren FC but also the discipline of both teams throughout the game. St Mirren had only one Yellow card to their name in the second half, compared to St. Johnstone FC's two Yellow cards, both in the latter part of the second half. Neither team had any Red cards, indicating that it was a relatively clean game with respect to disciplinary actions.

Despite St Mirren coming out on top with a 2-0 win, it is interesting to note that St. Johnstone FC seemed to have slightly more ball possession as they had one more Corner kick (6) than St Mirren (5). This could potentially suggest they were more on the attack during the match but unfortunately, it did not translate into fruitful results for them.

Furthermore, judging by the fouls committed; 12 by St Johnstone and 8 by St Mirren, the away team resorted to more aggressive tactics but that didn't sway the match in their favour. The fact that St Mirren had only one Offside compared to St Johnstone's zero also sheds light on the away team's solid defensive line throughout the match.

In conclusion, while both teams seems to have put up a good fight on the field, St Mirren FC proved to be more effective, clinically finishing their chances without accumulating too many disciplinary points. St Johnstone, despite some control over the game, just couldn't break down St Mirren's defence and despite their aggressive play, it wasn't enough in the end.

This match is a prime example that in football, it's not just about possession or aggression but how well you utilize your opportunities and maintain composure that can make the difference between a loss and a win.
