In what turned out to be a majorly one-sided encounter in the Vysshaya Liga, FC Ahal brutally outclassed FC Ashgabat at the latter's home turf, displaying a superior performance at both ends of the pitch and securing an emphatic 4-0 victory.

The numerical disadvantage in terms of goals of FC Ashgabat was primarily due to FC Ahal’s clinical strikers, converting 4 of their 7 shots on target against the meagre 3 saves made by the home team's goalkeeper. In contrast, Ashgabat could only direct 4 of their 9 total shots towards the goal, and even then, Ahal's goalkeeper managed to keep a clean sheet with 4 crucial saves.

Another differential factor was the successful assists, with FC Ahal registering 4 and their counterparts only 1. This stark contrast in offensive efficiency could be partially attributed to FC Ashgabat's imprecise attacks, highlighted by their 5 shots off target and two offside infractions vis-à-vis Ahal's 3 shots missed and only one offside.

On the brighter side, FC Ashgabat did see more of the corner action, earning 5 to their opponent's 3. However, they failed to capitalise on these opportunities and the match numbers subsequently reflected their inability to conjure goals.

The statistics also point towards the home side's higher foul count of 12, with Ahal committing 9. This, coupled with their higher substitution count, perhaps indicates a struggle with discipline or fitness, factors that could have skewed the game dynamics in favour of the away team.

Interestingly, the match saw zero cards, an uncommon characteristic in such a statistically charged game, indicating a relatively clean but intense match.

In conclusion, the key factors impacting this match were a combination of FC Ahal's more precise shots on goal, the higher assist count and their significantly better goal conversion rate despite the lesser corners. FC Ashgabat, on the other hand, will need to introspect on their shot efficiency, offensive synchronisation and discipline on the field, all of which quite evidently marred their performance on that fateful day.
