This game between Coastal Union FC and Young Africans SC, held on November 8, 2023 demonstrated the ups and downs, which were mainly on the back of the host team - Coastal Union FC. The home team unfortunately didn't make the best of their home advantage, failing to score any goals and conceding one goal to Young Africans SC. This was a decisive factor leading to Cooperative Union FC's loss.

In terms of statistical factors, Coastal Union FC found themselves significantly on the backfoot, receiving 7 yellow cards with 4 of them issued in the first half itself within a span of roughly 22 minutes. Their discipline on the field seemed to be lacking with intense penalty action predominantly targeting the home team. This meant that they played most of the match under pressure, which could well have impacted their performance and ultimately the outcome of the match.

By comparison, Young Africans SC's discipline was comparatively better with only 3 yellow cards to their side. Their only goal was scored in the second half of the match. Timing for the goal was also pertinent, given it was scored in the beginning of the second half - which could have put added psychological pressure on the host team, already trailing in the game.

Speaking of free play dynamics, Coastal Union FC failed to gain any corner kicks throughout the match providing no additional scoring opportunities; whereas Young Africans SC made relatively better use of their play by earning 4 corner kicks.

Offsides were nearly equal for both teams - Coastal Union FC had 3 and Young Africans SC had 4. This suggests both teams played aggressively but equally resulted in missed opportunities that could have ideally been potential chances at goal for both teams.

To sum up, key factors such as the single goal by Young Africans SC and the 7 yellow cards against Coastal Union FC, coupled with the lack of corner kicks from the home team, proved decisive in this Premier League match. Coastal Union FC will need to strategize better to maintain field discipline while creating viable scoring opportunities in future games. Meanwhile, Young Africans SC should take forward the winning momentum but strategize, to improve the offside count to maximize the efforts into successful goals. Overall statistically, discipline and strategic planning in match played a crucial role in the final outcome of the game.
