Match Analysis FC Zurich (Wom) Vs. FC Basel (Wom), 4th October 2023, Super League - Women

This Super League Women's match was an exciting encounter, with FC Zurich (Wom) upsetting FC Basel (Wom) with a 3-1 victory, despite having fewer corner kicks and committing more fouls. The game was characterized by intense pressure from both sides, resulting in several fouls and yellow cards.

In the first half, the game was intensely competitive. FC Zurich opened the scoring barely ten minutes into the match. FC Basel, however, didn't let this deter them and equalized with a goal at the 19th-minute mark. Yet Zurich seemed to have a little extra in their engine, scoring the second goal at 35 minutes, and ending the first half leading.

In the second half, FC Zurich extended their advantage further with a goal coming in at approximately 57 minutes into the game. Despite their efforts, Basel failed to level the score, thereby falling to the home side.

What's particularly interesting is that FC Basel dominated corner kicks with 7 compared to Zurich's single one. This suggests they held a significant part of the attacking play, but the defensive proficiency of Zurich combined with their clinical finishing meant Basel's corners failed to translate into goals.

On the disciplinary front, Zurich players received two yellow cards, one each in the 68th and the 88th minute. Basel had one player booked in the 30th minute. These bookings, although exerted a certain amount of pressure on the teams, didn't make a significant impact on the game as no subsequent red cards were issued. As such, both sides retained their full complement of players throughout the game.

It's also worth discussing the foul count. Zurich committed 7 fouls, more than Basel's 5. This indicates that they played more aggressively, risking losing ball possession, and possibly why they received more cautions.

In conclusion, it seems that FC Zurich's superior goal conversion rate was the decisive factor in this match. Although they had fewer offensive opportunities, as indicated by corner kicks, and played somewhat more aggressively leading to more fouls and yellow cards, they managed to capitalize on their chances and secure a 3-1 win over FC Basel. This match serves to remind bettors of the importance of finishing clinically and maintaining strong defensive lines despite fewer attacking opportunities.
