The clash between MFK Zemplin Michalovce and MFK Ruzomberok in the Nike Liga on February 17th, 2024, ended in a 1-0 victory for the away team Ruzomberok, despite strenuous efforts from Michalovce. Below is a detailed statistical discussion of the match.

Starting with the game's decisive factor, goals, it's clear that Ruzomberok had a more fruitful outing. Scoring the only goal of the match, Ruzomberok managed to convert one of their ten shots on target. This, in combination with zero assists from both teams, underscores a performance where individual skill was a determining factor.

Looking at shots on target, a startling difference between the two teams becomes evident. Ruzomberok had more than triple the on-target shots that Michalovce managed, indicating a significantly more effective attacking strategy. Meanwhile, Michalovce recorded 3 shots on target but could not convert any into goals.

Oppositely, Michalovce's goalkeeper was kept busy throughout the match, making 9 saves as compared to the 3 saves made by Ruzomberok's goalkeeper. The defensive capabilities were severely tested, and the number of saves suggests a lot of pressure by Ruzomberok's attackers.

Both the teams had almost the same number of shots off target, suggesting some wasteful attempts. This indicates that although Ruzomberok won the match, they could have been more effective in converting their chances.

Michalovce conceded more fouls than Ruzomberok, which may hint at their struggle to keep pace with their opponents' movement and strong ball possession. Both teams made equal substitutions (3 each), indicative of attempts to bring tactical changes to the pitch.

Corner kicks were not a significant part of the game. Michalovce had only one corner, while Ruzomberok had two, suggesting that much of the game was played in open play, rather than at the flanks. Robust defending appears to have prevented corner opportunities, especially for Michalovce.

Regarding offsides, Michalovce's two recorded offsides could be indicative of eagerness in the attack, but also a lack of timing and discipline in holding the offensive line. Ruzomberok, with zero offsides, showed better attacking discipline.

In conclusion, MFK Ruzomberok's victory over MFK Zemplin Michalovce was primarily driven by their more effective shooting on target and the crucial performance of their goalkeeper. Michalovce's higher number of goalkeeper saves underlines Ruzomberok's attacking superiority, with Michalovce struggling to penetrate through their offensive defenses. The match data suggests that overall, Ruzomberok outperformed Michalovce both defensively and offensively in this encounter.
