The match between Narva Trans and JK Tallinna Kalev in the Premium Liiga on 1st September 2023 proved to be a tightly contested affair.

Narva Trans, the home team, managed to secure a slim victory with two goals while JK Tallinna Kalev responded with just one. The timing of the goals was particularly noteworthy. The home team's first goal happened early in the match (00:34:04), this early lead set the tempo for the rest of the game as Narva Trans held the advantage under their belt for most of the match. Their second sign of brilliance came in the second half (01:03:42), extending their lead to 2-0. JK Tallinna Kalev, on the other hand, was able to narrow the deficit by scoring one goal at 01:19:05 in the second half, making the scoreline 2-1.

Analyzing the overall discipline of both teams during the game, Narva Trans exhibited a more aggressive playstyle which can be deduced from their yellow cards data. They completed the match with a total of 5 yellow cards and no Red cards. This could have potentially hurt their performance, having to tread on thin ice for a large portion of the second half after accumulating their first yellow card at 00:56:31. In contrast, JK Tallinna Kalev approached the game with more caution, only leading to 1 yellow card at 01:05:16 and no Red cards.

JK Tallinna Kalev despite their loss showed some dominance in terms of their set-pieces. With 7 corner kicks, nearly doubling the home team’s 3 corner attempts, it indicated the team had multiple opportunities to score, but could not capitalize on these moments. This data suggests that the away team was commanding more possession in the opposition's half but failed to convert these opportunities into goals.

The offsides data, with Narva Trans receiving 2 offsides and JK Tallinna Kalev 3, shows a close and well-contested game. Both sides were persistently trying to breach the defensive line, resulting in a nearly equal number of offside calls.

In conclusion, while Narva Trans may not have dominated some aspects of the game, their early goal was instrumental in enabling them to control the tempo of the match. Despite displaying a more aggressive style of play seen from their accumulation of yellow cards, they were more effective in front of the goal. JK Tallinna Kalev had improved possession and more opportunities from set-pieces but failed to convert those chances into goals. Essentially, the decisive factor for this match was Narva Trans’ efficiency and clinical finishing in front of the goal.
