In the intense Kakkonen match between GBK Kokkola and Vasa IFK on August 19, 2023, the match ended in a 1:1 draw with both teams giving their best efforts. The ruling factors in this game were the striking effectiveness, goalkeeper saves, and team discipline.

GBK Kokkola managed to secure seven on-target shots with Vasa IFK delivering five. However, GBK's attacking efficiency didn't necessarily translate to more goals. Despite GBK's superior on-target attempts, both teams managed to squeeze out only one goal each, showcasing the tenacity of both teams' defence and excellent goalkeeping.

In fact, the outstanding performance of both the goalkeepers was a crucial factor in maintaining the draw. The Kokkola's goalkeeper made four critical saves, compared to Vasa IFK's six. The shot-stopping prowess of Vasa IFK’s goalie, who saved 6 of the 7 on-target shots, was one of the standout points in this match.

The match wasn't devoid of competitiveness in the midfield and defence as it highlighted in the number of fouls committed. GBK Kokkola committed twelve fouls to Vasa IFK's ten, emphasizing the intense struggle for dominance. Even with a noticeable level of rough play, no yellow or red cards were drawn by either side, a testament to both teams' disciplined play.

The set-piece situations weren't a decisive factor in this game as the total corner kicks by GBK Kokkola reached three in comparison to five from Vasa IFK. Moreover, offsides were at a minimum, with each team having been judged to be offside on two occasions.

Ultimately, it was a tactical match, with both sides opting to use all three of their substitutions in their bid to win the game. Despite the neck-and-neck statistics, the game ended in a 1-1 draw - an outcome reflecting the fairly evenly matched performance by both GBK Kokkola and Vasa IFK on the day.
