The FA Cup face-off between the Daejeon Korail FC and Dangjin Citizen FC ended with a decisive 3-1 victory for the home team. The goals tally clearly shows Daejeon's supremacy on this day but digging deeper into the stats we can gleam more into the specifics of both teams' performance.

The early surge by Daejeon Korail FC, registering their first goal barely 26 minutes into the game undoubtedly set the tempo of the match. A second goal, closing the first half at the 43rd minute, further reinforced their dominance during the initial stage of the competition.

However, Dangjin Citizen FC appeared not to go down without a fight. They retaliated just under the 50-minute mark into the second half, changing the scoreboard to a close 2-1. Their resilience, however, was met by a swift response from the home team, who registered a third goal only three minutes later, dampening Dangjin’s hope of a comeback.

From a statistical standpoint, the match was fairly even-tempered, as evidenced by the distribution of fouls - 9 committed by the Daejeon and 6 by Dangjin. It indicates a relatively clean game with fewer infractions than we might expect in a fiercely competitive encounter. Both teams also racked up a few yellow cards — 2 for Daejeon and 1 for Dangjin, affirming the intensity of the match.

Though Dangjin Citizen FC lagged in goals scored, they led in terms of corner kicks, registering twice as many as Daejeon (4-2). This demonstrates that despite the goal difference, they had a significant offensive presence, forcing Daejeon's defense into uncomfortable zones, yet failed to successfully convert these opportunities into goals.

In terms of goalkeeping, neither team was able to maintain a clean sheet. While the exact number of goalkeeper saves is not available, it is clear that both defenses were significantly tested.

To summarize, Daejeon's early offensive and their ability to promptly respond to Dangjin Citizen's lone goal were the pivotal factors in securing their victory. Dangjin's performance, while commendable in several aspects, fell short primarily in their lack of finishing precision, a shortfall highlighted by their inability to capitalize on the higher number of corner kicks.

Needless to say, football is an unpredictable game and while Daejeon Korail FC won this round, future matches between these two teams should prove equally engaging for observers and bettors alike, offering the potential for a different outcome.
