The match that took place on 20 May 2023, at 11:00 EEST, in the Premier League between FC Zhetysu and FC Atyrau, was clearly characterized by a dominant performance from the away team. This resulted in FC Atyrau walking away with all three points after a striking victory of 3-0 against FC Zhetysu.

Let’s break down the dynamics of the match based on data and statistical factors.

Firstly, from the goal scoring perspective, FC Atyrau showed a clinical edge. They scored three goals, two in the first half at the 4th and 23rd minute and one more in the second half at the 57th minute. This early breakthrough wouldn't have allowed FC Zhetysu to establish a good match rhythm, instability that might have majorly affected their performance during the entire game. Hence, timing of the goals played a key role in the dominance of FC Atyrau in the match.

The stat board does show that FC Zhetysu might have dominated ball possession in Atyrau's half, since they had 4 corner kicks against 1 from the away team. It is important to note, however, they failed to utilize these opportunities into converting crucial goals.

As far as disciplinary actions are concerned, both teams were nearly on par. Both teams showed similar aggression levels with each team committing a single foul, and each having one player sanctioned with a yellow card. Not too disruptive to their respective game plans, but it exemplifies an evenly contested physical mid field battle.

It’s also noticeable that offsides were not a defining factor in the match, with both teams showing efficient forward lines and limited offside calls.

To sum up, FC Atyrau managed to shut down FC Zhetysu completely with precise attacks and a solid defensive performance. The effectiveness of FC Atyrau's offensive strategy was clearly demonstrated by their scoring, despite having fewer corner opportunities. FC Zhetysu, despite a seemingly dominating ball possession, were unable to break through the robust defensive tactics of FC Atyrau which highlighted their inability to convert possession dominance into scoring chances. These factors provide an interesting input for the way both teams might approach their coming matches.
