Offensively, OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad displayed a strong performance resulting in two goals, both secured in the second half of the game. The home team demonstrated an efficient usage of time, scoring their first goal just 46 minutes into the second half, followed by the second goal nearly 7 minutes later. This quick succession of goals had a significant impact on the team's morale and undoubtedly played a role in their victory. However, FK Hebar Pazardzhik managed to fight back as they eventually scored a goal in the 85th minute, creating pressure and a sense of urgency towards the end of the match.

While both teams showcased strong defensive strategies, the home team experienced a high number of yellow cards. A total of 5 yellow cards were issued for the home team, with a significant concentration of 4 awarded during the second half. This could indicate a struggling defense in the later stages of the match.

Conversely, FK Hebar Pazardzhik demonstrated controlled aggression throughout the entirety of the match, with only 1 yellow card issued. While an excellent show of discipline, their lack of aggression may have contributed to their failure to match the home team's goal tally.

From a set-piece perspective, FK Hebar Pazardzhik significantly outperformed OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad. Despite the loss, the away team claimed 8 corner kicks in comparison to the home team's mere 2. However, OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad were more careful about getting caught offside, with just 2 instances compared to FK Hebar Pazardzhik's constant pressure and commitment to attack, which resulted in no offside calls.

In the end, OFK Pirin Blagoevgrad’s victory seems to have been influenced primarily by their early and persistent striking in the second half, despite their numerable disciplinary actions and fewer set-pieces. For FK Hebar Pazardzhik, their lack of precision in striking despite their numerous corner kicks and disciplined defense, might have been instrumental in their defeat. This implies that generating more shots on target could be a key area of focus in their subsequent matches.
