The Cup match between NK Jesenice, the home team, and ND Gorica, the away team, proved to be a thrilling match where ND Gorica emerged victorious, with a final score line of 3-1. The match was marked by a high level of assertion from Gorica, as shown by the goals scored and the number of corner kicks taken, despite both teams being equally weighted in terms of yellow cards and offsides.

Gorica started the match with intensity, scoring their first goal just over ten minutes into the first half, only to follow up with a second goal at the 23rd minute. Gorica’s early aggression and conversion rate was clearly a decisive factor in the final match outcome. Having two goals on the board within the first quarter of the match gave Gorica a substantial advantage and put considerable pressure on Jesenice.

Jesenice, determined not to trail, managed to score their only goal at the 36th minute of the first half. However, their overall offensive performance was less than adequate, as evidenced by the fact that they only secured three corner kicks throughout the match. This compared to Gorica’s nine, indicates a significant difference in offensive pressure, and likely contributed to Jesenice's struggles to convert opportunities into goals.

Disciplinarity wise, both teams showed an equal level of aggression, with two yellow cards awarded to each team. However, this didn't seem to link directly to performance as despite an early yellow card by Gorica didn’t prevent them from becoming the first team to score.

The second half saw Gorica consolidate their advantage with an early goal in the 46th minute, taking the score to 3-1. Despite the yellow card in the second half, Gorica managed to maintain their lead and displayed excellent defence and an ability to capitalize on their opportunities.

Offsides were notably few for both sides, with just one each. This could attest to the discipline and tactical skills of both team’s defences in maintaining their lines, but ultimately, Gorica's more prolific and assertive attack proved decisive.

To summarize, ND Gorica's win can be attributed primarily to their early and consistent offensive pressure, maintaining defensive integrity despite disciplinary sanctions, and the ability to capitalize on set-piece scenarios through corner kicks. Unfortunately for Jesenice, their low shot conversion and lack of offensive pressure made it hard to keep pace, resulting in their eventual loss in the match.
