In this Veikkausliiga face-off on June 27, 2023, AC Oulu convincingly bested SJK in a 4-1 encounter that was largely determined by the effectiveness and precision of their counter-attacks.

The match began with a bang as AC Oulu opened the scoring in the 34th minute of the first half, putting a dent on SJK’s home field advantage. SJK managed to breathe new life into the game by equalizing in the 64th minute of the second half, making it look like they might claw their way back into the contest. However, AC Oulu was far from done, raining a barrage of following goals in the 45th, 81st, and 85th minutes of the second half to secure their comfortable lead, and with it, the match.

Interestingly, despite suffering from 4 yellow cards, AC Oulu remained unaffected in their gameplay, simply absorbing the pressure and then retaliating on the counter. The first two of these came in the first half at the 11th and 42nd minutes, and the third and fourth in the late second half at the 80th and 89th minutes respectively. SJK's single yellow card came within a minute of AC Oulu's last, but this late aggression didn't translate into results for them.

A remarkable statistic is the corner kicks. The 9 corner kicks that SJK produced had no impact on the scoreline, indicating a lack of incisive finishing in front of goal or perhaps a solid defence by AC Oulu. In contrast, AC Oulu only had 2 corner kicks throughout the match. This disparity further illustrates the away team's efficiency in capitalizing on their chances.

AC Oulu’s win can very well be attributed to their disciplined structure and devastating counter attacks, which rendered SJK's possession and offensive pressure futile. Despite the number of yellow cards and the disproportion in corner kicks, AC Oulu were sharp in front of goal, exceptionally clinical in finishing their chances, and held their nerve in a defensive standpoint.

In the plethora of statistics, it was the 'goals scored' which naturally had the most significant impact on the match's outcome. AC Oulu’s clinical finishing and ability to convert opportunities into goals despite fewer corner kicks or possession, proved definitive.
