In this Damallsvenskan encounter on the 12th May 2024, it was Linkopings FC who came out triumphant with a razor-thin 1-0 victory over AIK. A single goal was the decisive factor in a match characterized by high defensive performances from both sides.

Let's go through the numbers: The only goal of the match from Linkopings was a result of the crucial difference in the quality of attempts. Linkopings had 5 shots on target compared to AIK's 2 - a clear indication of their superior efficacy and accuracy in the final third.

Linkopings goalkeeper made 2 saves in comparison to AIK's 4, underscoring the greater defensive pressure AIK faced. Concurrently, it paints a picture of Linkopings' high pressing strategy which limited AIK to fewer attempts on goal.

However, AIK's defence should be commended for their steadfastness, given Linkopings took 4 corner kicks (as opposed to AIK's 3), which typically suggests sustained offensive pressure. Yet, with the help of goalkeeper saves and clearing attempts, they restricted Linkopings to a single goal.

A decisive matter was Linkopings' use of substitutions, making three changes throughout the match, one more than AIK. This gave them fresh legs and shortened the fatigue gap, potentially giving them the edge in maintaining their narrow lead.

Comparing the number of fouls (Linkopings 10 - AIK 8) it's clear that this was a tightly contested match with both teams playing aggressively to win possession.

An interesting statistic to note was Linkopings' lone offside, reflecting a disciplined offensive line, which may have helped them to ensure the narrow victory.

Looking at the stats, it's clear that Linkopings' edge in shots on target, utilization of substitutions and low offsides numbers played significant roles in their victory. They created quality chances and managed the match effectively to secure the crucial three points, pushing them further up in the Damallsvenskan rankings.
