In a closely contested Eredivisie game between PEC Zwolle and FC Volendam on the 10th of March 2024, both teams came out with a 1-1 draw.

PEC Zwolle dominated the corner kick aspect of the match, with an impressive 8 to FC Volendam's 3. This stat highlights a significant edge for the home team on their offensive play. Set pieces are a crucial indication of territorial dominance, and Zwolle's impressive number of 8 corner kicks not only signals their continual attacking pressure, but also indicates their potential threat from these sorts of situations.

On the contrary, Volendam had the edge in discipline, with Zwolle committing a significantly higher number of fouls; 9 in total compared to Volendam's 2. While this suggests a more aggressive playing style from Zwolle, it also points to an area of their game where they need to exercise caution. However, even with the high number of fouls, the disciplined defence from Zwolle was clear, with no yellow cards issued, as opposed to two yellow cards for Volendam.

The second half of the game saw both teams getting on to the scoring sheet. FC Volendam opened the scoring at 01:09:48, however, their lead was short-lived as PEC Zwolle equalised just after 13 minutes. Despite both teams having multiple attempts at goal, they both found it hard to cause any real damage, which was evident in the solitary offside decision for Zwolle and two for Volendam.

While both teams had a similar number of offside calls, Volendam's two yellow cards might hint at an effort to stifle Zwolle's play and might have affected their overall play - a possible explanation for their lack of corner kicks and a low scoring match.

Overall, though the match ended in a stalemate, it wasn't rooted in a lack of effort or offensive play, particularly from the home team, as indicated by their dominance in corner kicks. However, the efficient defensive play of both teams, though more disciplined in the case of Zwolle, succeeded in limiting the scoring to one goal apiece.

For future games, both teams might need to convert more of their chances, especially PEC Zwolle, who had more opportunities, as indicated by the corner kick tally. Similarly, FC Volendam needs to maintain better discipline in their matches to prevent any unnecessary disciplinary issues which could lead to possible sanctions or suspensions.
