Further into the K League 2 season and we find ourselves dissecting the gutsy match between Gimcheon Sangmu FC and Chungnam Asan FC that took place on the 19th of July 2023. The outcome of the match was a thrilling 3-2 victory by the home squad Gimcheon Sangmu.

As the data portrays, Gimcheon's win wasn't merely down to their incredible offensive prowess, but also their capacity to withstand pressure from a notably aggressive Chungnam side.

Focusing on the goals scored, it is clear that Gimcheon started aggressively. They got their first goal in the 16th minute and the second one in the 38th minute, giving them the headstart they needed to maintain pressure on Chungnam. Despite Chungnam managing to score early in the second half (53rd minute), Gimcheon responded swiftly adding another goal to their tally in 67th minute giving them another solid cushion, before slowing down and conceding a late goal to end the match 3-2.

In the aspect of Corner kicks, Chungnam were significantly superior with a total of 5, against Gimcheon's 2. This superiority in corner kicks illustrates Chungnam was dominating offensively, and constantly had Gimcheon's backline under pressure. However, with Gimcheon's superior defending and one of those rare matches where corner kicks were not a significant factor, they held on for the win.

Disciplinary-wise, Chungnam’s 2 Yellow cards may have seen them slightly disadvantaged, inhibiting some key players from going all out into tackles, compared to the home team’s 1 Yellow card. It's important to underline that those bookings could have disrupted Chungnam’s rhythm, especially the late one.

Considering offsides, Gimcheon suffered 2 times from the referee's flag, which may reveal an adventurous approach in their attempts to break through Chungnam's defensive line. Chungnam, however, managed to keep their play clean of offsides entirely, which indicates their coordinated and disciplined attack.

In terms of fouls, Gimcheon compromised the game's flow slightly more than the opposite side, with 16 fouls compared to Chungnam's 13.

To summarize, while Chungnam appears to have possessed an outstanding attacking force, as shown by their superiority in corner kicks, Gimcheon showed more precision where it mattered: scoring goals. Gimcheon proved that an early lead can instill enough confidence to influence the final result. This in combination with their defensive skills was the decisive factor for Gimcheon's narrow win over Chungnam.
