The match between ASEC Mimosas Abidjan and Stade d'Abidjan on December 30, 2023, proved to be a strong showing for the home side. With one goal and less accumulation of fouls, the output of ASEC Mimosas showed their solid teamwork and overall better performance.

ASEC Mimosas started strong by scoring the only goal of the match during the first half at 45:31. It wasn't just their scoring performance that put them in an advantageous position. Their strategic gameplay was evident with fewer offsides (3) compared to Stade d'Abidjan's single offside. The fewer offsides by the home team signifies a better understanding of the game's timing and spatial management, thus better navigation of the field as opposed to the away team.

Despite being the underdog in the corner kick count (3 versus Stade d'Abidjan's 6), ASEC Mimosas's ability to prevent an equalizing goal from the away team proves their defensive strength. In particular, the lack of goals by Stade d'Abidjan, despite having more corner kicks, depicts the home team's solid defense during set-pieces.

An essential factor that contributed significantly to the final outcome is Stade d'Abidjan's yellow cards. The accumulation of 4 yellow cards, higher compared to ASEC Mimosas's single yellow, showed the possible frustration and loss of composure of the away side. These fouls disrupted their game flow and gave unnecessary advantage and possession to ASEC Mimosas, allowing them to control the game better. The resulting red card only amplified these issues, putting Stade d'Abidjan at a numerical disadvantage that further hurt their odds of turning the game around.

In conclusion, the single-goal victory by ASEC Mimosas wasn't just down to skill but also a combination of tactical discipline, strong defense, and capitalizing on the rivals' fouls. Stade d'Abidjan, although aggressive, seemed to lack the composure as evidenced by the high number of yellow cards and ineffective use of their corner kick advantages. These statistical insights show how various factors influence the game outcome, extending beyond just goals.
