In a tight contest in the 1st Division between Ahlafors IF and Vanersborgs IF, the home team edged the visitors with a solitary goal. The game was played with high intensity, with it finally being decided in the second half courtesy of Ahlafors IF's only goal at 55:04 minutes, which provided them with the winning margin 1-0.

Statistically, there were a few key factors that played into the outcome of the game. One of them was the number of corner kicks. Despite Vanersborgs IF having more corners (6) than Ahlafors IF (4), they couldn't capitalize on these set-piece opportunities. The inability of Vanersborgs IF to utilize these chances could be a testament to the defensive solidity of Ahlafors IF, or an indictment of the away team's lackluster offensive organization for these potentially game-changing moments.

Interestingly, the home team was caught offside four times, a testament to their aggressive forward play. Vanersborgs IF, on the other hand, didn't register a single offside. This tells us that the away team was either not as adventurous in their offense or was more controlled and measured in their forward movements. The former might be borne out by the fact that they failed to score despite having more corners.

Both teams, however, seemed to be evenly matched in disciplinary terms, with each side receiving one yellow card. Ahlafors IF's card came at 19:16 minutes of the first half, while Vanersborgs IF received theirs at 27:12 minutes within the same half. Neither team, however, had any player sent off, indicating that despite the tight scoreline and the stakes, both teams maintained a relative level of discipline.

In summary, the standout statistical factor seems to have been Ahlafors IF's converting of their one significant opportunity in the second half, as well as their defense's ability to keep out Vanersborgs IF's six corner kicks. Over the course of the game, Ahlafors's caution against being caught offside seemed to pay off, whilst their competitor's lack of offensive threat may be a point of concern. It was a game of fine margins, and ultimately Ahlafors IF proved to have the necessary edge to secure the victory.
