This match held in the TFF 1. League on the 26th August, ended with the away team, Corum FK, edging out Goztepe SK by a narrow margin of 2-1. Despite a valiant fightback from the home team, it is evident from the statistics that missed chances and a high number of yellow cards, handicapped their game.

Starting with goals, Corum FK found the net twice within the first 15 minutes of the game. Their first goal was almost immediate, coming in at the 36th second of the match. Following closely, the second one arrived at the 14th-minute mark, setting them up with a solid 2-0 lead. Unfazed by this early setback, Goztepe SK managed to claw their way back with a goal on the 17th minute, but that was the only time they got past Corum FK's defense.

The impact of yellow cards can't be underestimated. With Goztepe SK collecting a total of 5 yellow cards, it indicates their high aggression level in this game that could have impacted their organisation or flow in play. Four out of these five cards were given during the first half, some in quick succession, indicating a risky and possibly impatient style of play early on from the home side. Corum FK, on the other hand, weren't too far behind, they collected 4 yellow cards, all in the second half, suggesting a more defensive and cautious play as they tried to hold on to their lead.

In terms of set-pieces, Goztepe SK dominated the corner kicks with a total of 8, to the away team's nil. Usually, this could be an advantage to create goal scoring opportunities, but they failed to turn this dominance into crucial goals or equalizers. They also had fewer offsides compared to Corum FK, which could suggest an issue with the away team’s timing or a well-executed offside strategy by Goztepe SK. However, the significantly higher offsides for Corum FK didn’t seem to impact their success.

All these statistical insights highlight that despite aggressive play from the home team, coupled with dominance in corner kicks, Goztepe SK failed to make it count in goals. Corum FK's early two goals in the first half proved decisive, showing the importance of a strong start in the match. They managed to maintain their slim lead despite accumulating yellow cards in the second half and more offsides overall.

This match serves as evidence that an advantageous position in certain statistical areas, such as corners and discipline, doesn't always translate into victories if not converted into scoring opportunities. It's about making key moments count, as displayed by Corum FK.
