In the TFF 2. League match on 10 September 2023, Afjet Afyonspor managed an important away win with a scoreline of 2-1 against Kirklarelispor.

The contest at 13:30 EEST saw Afyonspor open the scoring later in the first half with a goal at 36:31. Despite a less dominating possession, they executed their attacking plan effectively. Their focus on efficiency over volume paid off.

The home side, Kirklarelispor, responded in the second half with an equalizer at 69:29, demonstrating their ability to react under pressure. However, this moment of jubilation proved short-lived as Afyonspor regained the lead just a few minutes later, at 72:25. This rapid response undoubtedly highlights Afyonspor's composure to retake the lead shortly after it had been relinquished.

A concerning statistic for Kirklarelispor is the distribution of yellow cards. They received 4, two in quick succession in the second half, at 61:57 and 75:07. The fourth card came quite late at 87:23, which may have affected their late push for an equalizer by altering their aggression levels. On the other hand, Afyonspor only received two yellow cards, both issued in the second half, which points to a better control over their discipline and tackling.

Corner kicks, historically seen as a measure of attack pressure, heavily favored the home team with 4 over Afyonspor’s solitary one. However, Kirklarelispor's inability to convert these opportunities into goals underlines a lack of efficiency in their set-piece play.

In terms of offside, Kirklarelispor was caught offside thrice. This fact could suggest either a high defensive line from Afyonspor, effectively employing the offside trap or perhaps a lack of discipline or timing in the offensive movements of Kirklarelispor. Afyonspor only being caught offside once implies more calculated and well-timed runs behind the defense line.

In sum, though Kirklarelispor held dominion in corners and pushed aggressively, they appeared to lack composure with four yellow cards and inefficiency in converting opportunities into goals. Afyonspor, on the other hand, were able to capitalize on their chances and hold off the Kirklarelispor offensive for a crucial away win, displaying a performance based on efficiency and tactical discipline.
