The international friendly held on 25th March 2023 saw Laos take the win from Bhutan with a final score of 2-1. The data offers an interesting insight into the teams' performances, revealing how the outcome was driven primarily by the efficiency in front of goal, tight defensive play, and effective utilization of opportunities.

Offensively, Laos proved more accurate and dangerous, with a total of 11 shots on target compared to Bhutan's 7. Laos also took more advantage of their opportunities with 2 goals converted from their assists, while Bhutan struggled to provide fluid link-up play, recording 0 assists despite their 7 shots on target - this was a definitive factor that left them a goal short.

Bhutan's goalkeeper was kept busier, with 9 saves necessary compared to the 6 from the Laos side. This highlights the relentless attack from Laos, thus placing significant pressure on Bhutan's defense system.

Laos's 5 corners to Bhutan's 3, further underlined Laos's attacking prowess and possession in Bhutan's half. Their control of the game could arguably be seen as the result of Bhutan committing more fouls (13) compared to Laos's 9. This gave Laos more chances to create shooting opportunities directly from set-pieces or push their players upfield.

In terms of discipline, the match was fairly controlled with zero red and yellow cards from both sides. On the strategic level, Bhutan made more tactical changes during the match, using all 3 substitutions compared to Laos’ 2, though it didn't lead to a significant advantage or shift in momentum for Bhutan.

One statistic that Bhutan does lead is the offsides, having 2 against Laos's 3, indicating better coordination in their runs behind the defence or conservative playing style, but this didn’t amount to enough offensive threat to change the outcome of the match.

Overall, while Bhutan managed to keep the game fairly competitive, Laos's total control, attacking efficiency, and precision in front of the goal underpinned their victory in this friendly match. Future opponents should look out for Laos's attacking threat and try to capitalize on their defensive lapses, marked by Bhutan's 7 shots on target.
