In a high-energy Premier League match that ended Lion City Sailors 3, Tanjong Pagar United 2, the Lions certainly had the upper hand in several key areas that influenced the outcome of the game. This contest saw the Lion City Sailors overpower their opponents in a display of compelling football action.

The Sailors were dominantly offensive with an aggressive pressing game right out of the gate. Their first goal came remarkably early, at just 12 minutes and 50 seconds into the first half, a clear indication of their offensive strategy. Tanjong Pagar United equalized at the 35 minute and 36 seconds mark, but it took the away team almost triple the time to find the back of the net, suggesting a slower, perhaps less effective striking team.

Moving into the second half, the seesaw-like battle for supremacy continued as each side had its moments, resulting in Tanjong Pagar United equalizing again and the Sailors managing to break the deadlock. However, it wasn't a serene cruise for the home team, emphasized by the fact that their decisive third goal came at the 80 minute and 38-second mark which shows a rather tight competition.

A direct causal factor pointing towards the Lions' victory was clearly their number of corner kicks - an astonishing 17, compared to a meager 3 for Tanjong Pagar United. This statistic alone proves how Sailors peppered the United's defense and largely controlled the game. Tanjong's defense was continually under pressure, having to make more clearances from their defensive third.

As for disciplinary actions, both teams racked up two yellow cards each, indicating a fair level of aggression from both sides. Timings of the yellow cards also paint an interesting story - First yellow card warning for the home team came at 33 minutes and 26 seconds in the first half, while both warnings for the away team were late into the second half, indicating perhaps a reaction to the mounting pressure from the Sailors offensive lines.

While offsides were relatively low, 1 for the Sailors and 2 for the United, the single offside committed by the home team seems to reflect their strategic and well-coordinated forward been.

Overall, there is clear evidence of Lion City Sailors' dominance shown in their strong offensive approach in terms of attempts at goal, and clearances made by the away team. At the same time, the fact that Tanjong Pagar United conceded only one goal more in the face of such an aggressive opponent speaks to their well-structured defensive strategy. Even though they didn't have a satisfactory number of corner kicks or offensive plays, they were able to contain the Sailors for most of the match.

Based on these facts, it is evident that football bettors who rely on data and statistics were rewarded if they banked on the Sailors' proactive game to overpower Tanjong Pagar United's defensive strength.
