In this closely contested match of the TFF 1. League on the 21st of December, 2023, Boluspor narrowly emerged as the home winners against Manisa FK with a score of 1-0.

Taking a deep dive into the match statistics and their impact throughout the game, it's evident that both teams applied a highly aggressive strategy, as indicated by the high number of fouls and yellow cards.

Boluspor managed to score the only goal of the game within the first 20 minutes. The decisive goal came in the first half at 19:08, which saw Boluspor take and maintain the lead till the end.

However, what stands out most in this game is the disciplinary aspect. Manisa FK was more heavily penalized, picking up a total of four yellow cards and one red, compared to Boluspor's three yellow. The first two yellow cards for Manisa FK in the first half at 17:36 and 34:06 perhaps indicated an early aggression that potentially disrupted the team's rhythm, culminating in the only goal conceded.

Interestingly, in the second half, the yellow cards were almost synchronized. Both teams received a yellow card at practically the same minute (57:01 for Manisa FK and 57:02 for Boluspor), which may have temporarily given each team a brief 10 vs 10 scenario.

The statistics indicate that Manisa FK was more dominant during set pieces with ten corner kicks upper handed compared to Boluspor's solitary one. Despite this clear advantage, Manisa FK failed to capitalize and convert any of these into a goal – a missed opportunity that could have changed the game's outcome.

Notably, the fouls were evenly distributed with three apiece, a further indication of the level of contest and intensity prevalent in this match.

There were no substitutions recorded in this match, suggesting that both teams had a degree of confidence in their starting line-ups which could have had an impact on the overall dynamics of the game.

In terms of the teams’ defensive units, the solitary goal let in by Manisa FK implies a respectable showing. However, the coup de grace came via a red card – leaving them one man down, and possibly affecting their late game strategy and attempts at equalizing.

In conclusion, Boluspor was able to hold onto their early lead and maintain their discipline better than Manisa FK, ultimately leading to their victory in this hard-fought match.
