In the First League competition on 29 October 2023, MFK Metalurh Zaporizhya defeated FC Chernihiv with a scoreline of 3-1. A look at the match statistics provides a telling tale.

The away team, MFK Metalurh Zaporizhya's performance was critical to their victory. They took a total of 14 shots, eight of which were on target, nearly thrice the home team's numbers, who had 5 on-target shots from their total 8. MFK had a 57% accuracy rate with their shots on target, evidently being more clinical when presented with the opportunities. This is juxtaposed against FC Chernihiv's 62.5% on-target rate, suggesting greater precision, but less overall potency in terms of creation.

Goalkeeper performance was also significant, with MFK's keeper making 5 critical saves that helped limit the damage caused by FC Chernihiv's strikes. While FC Chernihiv's keeper made one less save - a testament to the relentless pressure exerted by MFK.

A discernible difference also arose in the pattern of play when it came to corner kicks and fouls. FC Chernihiv earned 4 corner kicks and committed 10 fouls which may reflect a more aggressive style of play, while MFK earned 3 corners and committed only 7 fouls, suggesting a more disciplined, controlled game.

Offsides also played their role in shaping the contest, with FC Chernihiv being flagged twice, compared to a single instance for MFK, which could suggest a more offensively ambitious but less disciplined attacking strategy.

In terms of ball movement, MFK surpassed FC Chernihiv by making 4 assists, suggesting a better level of positional play and interplay between players, which aided in the higher score.

Finally, considering the substitutions, FC Chernihiv exhausted all three of theirs while MFK only needed two, which could reflect on the physical conditioning and the tactical depth of the squad.

Though FC Chernihiv defended without receiving a single card, discipline didn't translate into effectiveness as they fell short against a more skillful, focused, and tactically adept MFK Metalurh Zaporizhya side.
