In this highly anterior and well-anticipated encounter in Liga 1 between Persija Jakarta and Madura United FC, the day belonged to Madura United FC who left the Persija Jakarta's home ground secured with a decisive 1-0 victory on the 22nd of February, 2024.

Looking at the data provided, it is clear that discipline had a significant impact on the game. Persija Jakarta saw their players booked with yellow cards on three occasions during the second half. Almost mirroring their opponents, Madura United FC also found themselves in the referee's bad books four times, with all yellow cards coming in the second half as well. Despite the significant number of fouls, both teams managed to avoid any red cards.

Yet, the possession remained contentious and balanced between both teams. This was reflected in the corner kicks numbers, where Persija Jakarta had 6 and Madura United FC had 5. However, an alarmingly high rate of offsides committed by Persija Jakarta significantly hindered their attacking efforts. The Home team was flagged offsides on five occasions, more than double the offsides committed by Madura United FC.

Undeniably, the most crucial moment of the game came in the 26th minute of the second half when Madura United FC put themselves ahead. The away team managed to skillfully convert their offensive play into a goal, a feat that Persija Jakarta was unable to replicate despite their numerous corner kicks and inaccurate attempts to penetrate the defensive line.

To conclude, the 1-0 victory can be attributed to superior discipline in possession and efficient counter-attacking by Madura United FC despite less corner kicks and more disciplinary actions by the referee. On the other hand, Persija Jakarta would need to address their discipline and offside issues which evidently stifled their attack on this occasion.
