In the tightly contested Cup fixture played on March 9th, 2023, NK Bistrica narrowly edged past NK Bravo with a scoreline of 1-0. There was an exhaustive competition in all areas of the pitch which is clearly visible in the statistics and the measure by which each team performed.

The home team, NK Bistrica, despite having a lesser number of corner kicks (1), compared to NK Bravo's 6, managed to utilize their solitary opportunity, translating it into a goal at 56 minutes and 43 seconds into the second half. This can be attributed to Bistrica's efficiency and precision when it comes to attacking set-pieces.

The battle in the middle of the pitch was somewhat fierce, with a total of 5 yellow cards distributed evenly across both halves. NK Bistrica players were shown yellow cards at 40 minutes and 35 seconds, and at 42 minutes and 27 seconds in the first half respectively. Meanwhile, NK Bravo ended up with three yellow cards, one in the first half (43 minutes and 24 seconds) and two more in the second half (one at 124 minutes and 50 seconds, and another at 129 minutes and 33 seconds). The high card count indicates a disruptive rhythm in the game, making it harder for the teams to maintain a consistent attacking play.

Offside calls were leveled at two each for both teams, implying the compactness of both defenses as they held their lines well, preventing any successful breakthrough from the opposition strikers.

Despite NK Bravo's statistical supremacy in areas such as corner kicks, they failed to translate their opportunities into goals. This could be due to the lack of precision or poor finishing in the final third.

To sum it up, it is evident that NK Bistrica, despite being on the back foot for some statistical parameters, made the most of the decisive moment that came their way. On the other hand, NK Bravo might need to work on their set-pieces and converting opportunities into goals in order to come out stronger in the following games. This tight game was a prime example of how statistics only tell half the tale, and it's the efficiency and execution of opportunities that often determine the final outcome.
