Based on the data provided from the thrilling Slovak Cup match between FK Sitno Banska Stiavnica and FTC Filakovo, which saw the home team edge it by 6 goals to 5 in a closely contested encounter, several key metrics deserve discussion.

The match overall was a testament to efficient attacking prowess as both teams managed a high number of shots on target, with Banska Stiavnica clocking 15, as opposed to Filakovo's 12. A testament to the attacking display was the high number of shots on target which found the back of the net, around 40% for the home team and a little over 41% for the away team -- a quite high figure which highlights the teams' efficiency in front of goal.

The even greater demand on the goalkeepers' shot-stopping ability can be gleaned from the fact that the goalkeepers made 16 saves in total - 7 saved by Banska Stiavnica and 9 by Filakovo - indicating that the scoreline could have been even steeper.

Corner kicks, another test of team set-piece execution, mirrored the back-and-forth nature of the game, with Banska Stiavnica earning 8 while Filakovo had 7. Results from these set pieces were not reported but given the number of goals, one can infer a level of success.

Fouls committed were also relatively even from each side, with Banska Stiavnica committing 14 fouls and Filakovo slightly less, with 13. This suggests a balanced intensity and aggression in the match, albeit without any dire consequences as neither team picked up any cards.

An interesting observation would be the offsides committed by the home team- 5 compared to just 3 from Filakovo, perhaps indicative of an aggressive forward line and high defensive line setups by the home team.

Overall, this was a tightly-fought contest, with a difference in attacking efficiency and accuracy, particularly from the home team, contributing to the victory, given the relatively close numbers in other metrics such as fouls, corner kicks, substitutions, and offsides. This match indeed looks like a thrilling spectacle for any football fan or bettor, filled with end-to-end action and goals, and a real display of attacking football.
