The penultimate match of the First League between FK Radnicki Beograd and RFK Novi Sad at 1921, on the 17th of November, brought a riveting performance. The data unfolds the match with a unique perspective, letting us savour each team's strategy and execution based on their statistical performances.

Contrary to the final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of FK Radnicki, it was actually RFK Novi Sad who drew first blood in the match, finding the back of the net merely 15 minutes into the game. However, it seemed they could no longer pen an offensive after their early surprise, which served as an eye-opener for the Beograd squad.

FK Radnicki then dictated the game heavily in the second half, evidenced by three goals scored by them in a span of approximately 16 minutes. The data also shines a light on how comfortable Radnicki Beograd turned the tables. A ten-fold difference in corner kicks (10 corner kicks by Beograd as compared to a single one by Novi Sad) reflects the dominance of the Beograd squad in getting balls into the attacking third and creating opportunities for scoring.

In terms of discipline, both teams ended up with a similar number of yellow cards (3), indicating a high intensity and a bit of a rough play simmering under the contest. In particular, FK Radnicki managed to maintain their discipline slightly better in the first half, with 2 yellow cards compared to RFK Novi Sad's one. Both took additional yellow cards in the second half, which didn't escalate the situation to any dismissal and kept the competition at even numbers.

One intriguing aspect of this match, revealed by the data, is the extremely low foul count. Beograd committed only one foul and Novi Sad didn't register a single foul. This seems unusual for a competitive game and suggests a low-aggression, highly tactical, rather than physical, battle between these teams.

To sum up, the game was largely a battle of control over the second half, during which FK Radnicki Beograd's enhanced offensive prowess turned into tangible results with three beautifully executed goals. Despite a comparably disciplined performance from RFK Novi Sad, they severely lacked in applying any kind of offensive pressure and hence, ended up on the losing side. It was an impressive showcase of defensive and offensive teamwork by the home team that earned them a well-deserved victory.
