In this UEFA Europa League Qualification match between Utrecht and Servette FC, Utrecht emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, largely due to their superior attacking prowess. Utrecht dominated the attacking statistics, registering 7 shots on target compared to Servette's single shot, a decisive factor that clearly influenced the outcome. The home team’s precise offensive play, combined with forensic finishing, allowed them to capitalize effectively on their goal-scoring opportunities. By contrast, Servette's limited attacking threat with only one shot on target hampered their ability to contend for a draw or a win.

Moreover, Utrecht exhibited a robust defensive strategy, allowing Servette only six shots off target. This prevented the Swiss club from gaining a foothold in the match or sustaining significant pressure on Utrecht goalkeeper. This not only kept the visitors largely at bay but also allowed Utrecht to control major parts of the game. The defensive discipline was just as critical in ensuring that Utrecht's attacking efforts did not go unrewarded.

Team discipline was tested as both sides received four yellow cards each, resulting from 15 fouls by Utrecht and 14 by Servette. Despite the physical nature of the game, neither team crossed the threshold into red card territory, which could have significantly altered each team's tactics and fluidity. Utrecht's ability to remain composed and maintain their structural integrity without losing players proved instrumental, notwithstanding their aggressive play. This composure allowed Utrecht to maintain their tactical formations and continue their pursuit of goals without detrimental interruptions in their lineup.
