In the match between Fenerbahce and Samsunspor that took place on 21st January 2024, the performance of both teams stood out, pushing us to a thrilling 1-1 draw.

Despite earning just one goal from both sides, the game was far from dull with Fenerbahce living up to its reputation with aggressive play early in the game. They scored a goal in the first half at 00:11:44, which came as the result of a great teamwork. But their consistency wavered as they couldn't convert the pressure into goals later.

Samsunspor, despite the early setback, managed to keep their poise and responded with equal fervour in the second half, scoring at 01:02:27 to level the playing field. The comeback revealed considerable team character.

An interesting data highlight was the disproportionate number of corner kicks between these two teams. Fenerbahce managed to win 8 corner kicks compared to Samsunspor's lone shot at the corner-flag. This indicates Fenerbahce's concerted efforts on offense and their ability to apply pressure on the opposing defence, which unfortunately did not translate into more goals.

Fenerbahce's four offside attempts compared to Samsunspor's one revealed a more urgent approach to goal scoring. Samsunspor's more disciplined game, reflected in the fewer offsides, may also have been influenced by the higher number of fouls they committed, tallying at 13 against Fenerbahce's 10.

Discipline became a crucial factor in this battle of equals as Samsunspor, striving to keep Fenerbahce at bay, committed a high number of fouls resulting in 3 yellow cards. Fenerbahçe, although lesser in fouls, did have 1 member enter the referee's book, reflecting some degree of undisciplined play from both ends.

In conclusion, despite Fenerbahce having shown more aggressive play, as evident from the higher number of corner kicks and offside attempts, Samsunspor's resilience and ability to convert fewer opportunities into goals ensured the honours remained even at the end. Furthermore, both teams have to focus further on disciplining their play, considering the high foul count from both ends. Performance-wise, there wasn't much to differentiate the two, resulting in a closely contested draw.
