This Kakkonen match between Jakobstads BK and JS Hercules was a tightly contested encounter, where disciplined play and tactical adjustments defined the outcome. Jakobstads BK's victory was greatly assisted by their ability to capitalise on goal-scoring opportunities, evident by their two goals from limited chances. The home team’s first goal was a strategic breakthrough, showcasing precise teamwork early in the match. Both teams displayed defensive resilience, but JS Hercules’ defensive lapses at crucial moments allowed Jakobstads BK to reclaim the lead in the second half after JS Hercules managed to equalise shortly after halftime.

A key factor that had a significant impact on the game's outcome was discipline, or lack thereof, on the part of JS Hercules. The visitors accumulated five yellow cards, which included a critical second yellow, leading to a red card. Playing a portion of the second half a man down severely hampered JS Hercules' ability to mount a consistent attacking threat. The reduced manpower was especially evident with their limited corner kick opportunities, compared to Jakobstads BK's six, highlighting the latter’s dominance in positioning and set-pieces.

Jakobstads BK's effective use of substitutions and tactical acumen allowed them to maintain pressure and control in the latter stages of the match. They adapted well to the changing dynamics of the game and managed to keep their composure despite receiving three yellow cards themselves. In contrast, JS Hercules struggled to cope with the pace and tenacity of Jakobstads BK, as indicated by their inability to press for opportunities and staying onside, contrasting the home team's equity in offsides. Overall, Jakobstads BK’s effective combination of strategic play and disciplined performance under pressure secured them a well-deserved victory.
