In the FA Cup showdown on March 1, 2023, Buriram United showcased a masterclass of football excellence as they emerged victorious in a 5-2 triumph over Phrae United FC. Despite the collaborative effort of both teams, it was the home team's attacking demands and disciplined defensive line that spelled doom for Phrae United FC.

A quintessential look at the scoreline shows success for Buriram United, but it doesn't tell the full story. Right from the start, Buriram United infused urgency into their play. The first goal came relatively early at 01:41 of the first half, immediately putting pressure on Phrae United FC and establishing dominance. The fast-paced first half saw Buriram United netting an impressive 4 goals to Phrae United FC's single response. Their attacking prowess maintained a steady flow, with goals coming at 09:33 and 27:20, before signing off the first half with another goal at 45:20. Phrae United did manage to slip in a goal at 05:51 in the first half but their efforts proved inconsequential against the relentless home team's attack.

The second half of the match saw an improvement in defensive play from Phrae United, but the home team still managed to push their advantage with an additional goal in the 76th minute (01:16:43). Phrae United retaliated with a consolation goal at 65:06, but their effort was not enough to bridge the gap.

Statistically speaking, the home team demonstrated superior ball use during their offensive plays, the proof of which lies in the higher number of goals despite lower corner kicks (5 compared to Phrae United's 6). However, their defensive discipline slightly waned in the second half which resulted in two yellow cards at 63:59 and 77:54 into the game.

Meanwhile, Phrae United's erratic play in the match led to a disciplinary concern - they received a total of four yellow cards, an indicator of their struggles in controlling the match and lack of discipline. All of their cards were received during the second half at 59:07, 61:34, 66:08, and 83:25.

In summary, this match vividly exemplifies the immense influence of early, proactive offensive play. Buriram United's early goal seamed the path for a highly-polished first-half performance, reducing Phrae United's morale and grip on the game. The match, though marred by minor disciplinary issues from both sides during the second half, was ultimately decided by the formidable goal difference, achieved through tactical superiority by the home team. Neither team encountered an event of a red card, hence keeping the match fair and square till the end.
