This Division One match between AEK Larnaca and Anorthosis Anorthosis, held on 17 February 2024, provided substantial insight into the contrasting team styles and key performance indicators.

Despite playing at home, AEK Larnaca conceded 3 goals to Anorthosis, while only netting 1 themselves. The lack of effective use of their home ground advantage was potentially due to their limited shots on target, with only 5 of these compared to the impressive 12 shots on target of Anorthosis.

An interesting stats here is the shots off target. AEK Larnaca had a higher off-target figure (7) than Anorthisis (6). This has played a role in their less effective finishing, affecting the final result of the match.

The offensive strategy of Anorthosis was particularly successful, with higher figures for both assists (2) and corner kicks (4), indicating a more disciplined and effective approach to their attacks. They managed to keep AEK Larnaca's goalkeeper busy throughout the game, forcing him to make a staggering 9 saves, more than double that of his Anorthosis counterpart, who only had to make 4 saves.

Although AEK Larnaca substituted 3 players, this change didn't bring a significant transformation to their game. Contrastingly, Anorthosis made only 1 substitution, reflecting their better initial team selection and stability.

In terms of discipline, both teams maintained a clean sheet with no yellow or red cards issued. However, Anorthosis was caught offside more frequently (4 times) indicating a more forward attacking strategy.

Overall, the main factors that had the most significant impact on the final result of the match could be attributed to Anorthosis having a better shot accuracy and more effective offensive strategy, forcing greater defensive effort from their opponents. On the other hand, AEK Larnaca's missed chances and less fruitful attack strategy, despite substitutions, could have resulted in their defeat at home.
