The match between FC Anyang and Gyeongnam FC was an energetic encounter full of goals, which ultimately saw Gyeongnam FC secure an impressive 4-2 victory on the road in K League 2, despite FC Anyang's significant statistical advantages within several parameters.

The loss for FC Anyang came despite them winning the battle of corner kicks, earning eight compared to Gyeongnam FC's three. This could point to their dominance in territorial play but a lack of clinical finishing or perhaps excellent defensive displays from Gyeongnam FC despite conceding more corner kicks.

Interestingly, FC Anyang's so far the only disciplinary issue was a single yellow card while Gyeongnam FC had a clean slate. This possession-dominance vs. disciplined-defensive contest was the flavor the clash took, with the away side seeking to absorb pressure and hit on the counter, a tactic that resonated effectively with the scoreline.

Reading into the timing of the goals, Gyeongnam FC's quick-fire opener in the first half, merely 13 minutes into the game, would've put FC Anyang on the back foot resulting in anxious play that could translate into sloppy defending. This was seemingly confirmed by FC Anyang's prompt response three minutes later at 16th minute, only for Gyeongnam FC to regain the lead ten minutes after at the 26th minute, and boost it at 44th minute, thereby ending the first half with a 3-1 lead.

Gyeongnam FC continued this momentum into the second half, further extending their lead to 4-1, not without FC Anyang having the last word with a last consolation goal. The timing of Gyeongnam FC's 4th goal at 76th minute heavily dashed FC Anyang’s comeback hopes and essentially sealed the match in favor of the away side.

This analysis underlines that the game was largely about Gyeongnam FC's efficiency in front of the goal, making the most of their chances and capitalizing on FC Anyang’s potential defensive weaknesses. Conversely, despite FC Anyang’s advantage in corner kicks and cleaner disciplinary record, they were unable to translate these positives into a result.

Thus, bettors may want to consider the glaring disparity between possession-based advantages and clinical finishing, and the impact it can have on the outcome of a match. Despite FC Anyang's dominance in set pieces, Gyeongnam FC's superb efficiency in turning less opportunities into more end-points is a valuable insight for future betting probabilities. This match served as a classic example of ‘taking your chances’ and how this parameter can sometimes overweight others in determining final outcomes.
