In the J1 League clash on April 13th, 2024, FC Machida Zelvia proved to be the dominant side against Vissel Kobe in terms of aggression and territorial play. However, they failed to convert their higher stance into a win, instead, it was Vissel Kobe who proved to be more clinical in front of goal and won the match with a 2-1 score.

Vissel Kobe, despite having fewer corner kicks (4 as opposed to Machida's 7), managed to net two goals. The first came at the dying moments of the first half, at 44:36 and the second at 1:28:24 in the second half. This indicates that Vissel Kobe was efficient with their chances even with fewer set piece opportunities.

On the other hand, Machida Zelvia strived to get back in the game, scoring their solitary goal at 1:36:01 in the second half. Despite their relentless attempts, they failed to pull back a draw as the visitor’s defense proved to be robust. Home team's incapacity to go for goals, can be detected from the fact that they had not been caught in an offside position even once in this match.

When it comes to discipline, FC Machida Zelvia was arguably more reckless with their challenges, picking up three yellow cards, two in the first half and one in the second. This may have had a negative impact on their overall performance and could have led to loss of harmony in their play. Vissel Kobe on the other hand, did not receive any card thus indicating a more disciplined and controlled performance.

As for the fouls statistics, there were a total of 15 fouls in the match, with FC Machida Zelvia accounting for 10 and Vissel Kobe 5. This might suggest that FC Machida Zelvia was more aggressive in their approach, which wasn't necessarily beneficial as it resulted in a higher number of yellow card bookings for them.

The data suggests that FC Machida Zelvia dominated the game in terms of corner kicks and they also committed more fouls; however, Vissel Kobe won the match because they were better at capitalizing their chances and maintaining discipline on the field. This match is a classic case where dominance doesn't always convert into victory if the team isn't efficient in front of the goal or fails to maintain composure during crucial moments.
