In the TFF 1. League match held on March 4th 2024, between Genclerbirligi SK (home) and Sanliurfa SK (away), both teams exhibited a commendable but violent level of play, evident from the unusually high number of yellow cards, a total of 11 – 5 against Genclerbirligi SK and 6 against Sanliurfa SK. Although no red cards were issued, this disciplinary factor undoubtedly affected the flow and outcome of the match.

Sanliurfa SK opened the scoring just over 8 minutes into the first half. Unfortunately, their momentum was short-lived as Genclerbirligi SK quickly responded and levelled the match at 1-1 in the 33rd minute with their commendable efforts. These were the only goals of the game, despite the teams filled with attacking potential.

When we look at the stats for offside, Sanliurfa SK was recorded as offside four times, whereas Genclerbirligi SK, only twice. This could suggest that Sanliurfa SK had a more aggressive and forward-leaning stance, but it also indicates a lack of proper timing in their attacks.

The lack of corner kicks by Genclerbirligi SK (zero throughout the match) and the 6 corner kicks by Sanliurfa SK suggested a territorial advantage for the visitors throughout the match. However, the home team's defence remained resolute and successful in thwarting every one of these potential scoring threats.

The foul count was highly noteworthy as well, with a total of 39 fouls committed during the match – 15 by Genclerbirligi SK and a significant 24 by Sanliurfa SK. Such a high count indicates a contentious and fiercely contested match, which could have hampered simple game flow, decreasing scoring opportunities overall.

Overall, both teams put up a solid performance, with enough attempts made to tilt the balance in their favour. Unfortunately, both teams seemed too involved in competitive aggression, which resulted in a heavy count of disciplinary actions and a stunted game flow that ultimately kept the match at a draw. The teams need to address these disciplinary issues and focus on translating their territorial dominance and attacking potential into more precise and effective goals for their forthcoming matches. If they do so, the outcomes might be more favourable in the future.
