In a highly dynamic and unpredictable match, FC Hirnyk-Sport performed a stunning comeback to beat FSC Mariupol with a 3-2 scoreline in First League competition held on October 7th, 2023.

Dominating the opening minutes of the game, FSC Mariupol scored in the first 15 seconds and were up 2-0 by the 2nd minute. Despite taking an early lead, they were unable to capitalize on it. FC Hirnyk-Sport astonishingly rebounded with two goals in the 40th and 44th minute of the first half bringing an end to a breathless first-half at 2-2.

Infringements were aplenty throughout the game. Collective indiscipline from the away team saw them pick up 5 yellow cards compared to home team FSC Mariupol's 2.

The second half continued to be a nerve-wracking affair with FC Hirnyk-Sport scoring their third goal in the 61st minute, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Notwithstanding the numerous fouls, it's conspicuous that the cards had no direct influence on the goal-scoring, as none translated into red cards which would have caused numerical disparity on the field.

Despite FC Hirnyk-Sport's more defensive position, FSC Mariupol still fell short as they struggled to convert opportunities into goals, with 4 offsides, indicating their impatience and lack of coordination in offense.

Furthermore, the home team twice bested the away team in corner kicks, taking 8 compared to FC Hirnyk-Sport's 3. Yet, this statistical advantage did not translate into goals, an indicator of a potential weakness in Mariupol's tactical execution of set pieces.
