The match of the Challenger Pro League on February 1, 2023, saw a face-off between Club NXT (literally the next-generation club) and K. Lierse Kempenzonen. A statistical analysis of the match reveals a bunch of key factors contributing to Club NXT's 1-0 victory.
The winning goal came early in the first half at the 28:50 mark, which set the pace of the game and immediately applied pressure on K. Lierse. Statistically, scoring first in a match significantly increases the chances of winning.
When examining the disciplinary data, K. Lierse Kempenzonen had a tougher time, spanning over the two halves with two yellow cards and eventually a red card. The red card could have significantly affected the fluidity and balance of the team, as they had to continue the game with one man less. The away team also saw a higher count of fouls (18) committed compared to the home team (11), which reflects an aggressive style of play or defence, but at the expense of disciplinary actions.
On the offensive side of the game, K. Lierse Kempenzonen did show a potential threat with 11 corner kicks compared to Club NXT's 6. These corners hypothetically should have opened up scoring opportunities for them, their conversion rate, unfortunately, appeared ineffective, failing to result in any goals. Potentially, their corner kick strategy needs to be reevaluated or it may indicate a strong defensive performance by Club NXT.
Interestingly, Club NXT managed to grab the win despite having fewer corner kicks and being flagged offside once, compared to K. Lierse Kempenzonen's twofold offside flags. Efficiency seemed to be the home team's mantra of the day, converting one of their chances into a goal and thus winning the game. Furthermore, having fewer offenses and disciplinary actions allowed Club NXT to stay in control of the match.
In conclusion, the statistics data from the game between Club NXT and K. Lierse Kempenzonen shows that the discipline, effective utilisation of offensive opportunities and robust defence were crucial elements in Club NXT's victory. On the contrary, K. Lierse Kempenzonen's discipline and conversion rate of scoring opportunities from corners could be considered as areas that need improvement for future matches.
