Aalesunds dominated in creating set-piece threats with a staggering 13 corner kicks compared to the mere 2 from Egersund IK. This overwhelming number gave Aalesunds several scoring opportunities, though they capitalized on only one, as shown by their two goals.

Despite Aalesunds' dominance in corner kicks, Egersund IK's efficiency in front of the goal was a deciding factor. With fewer goal-scoring opportunities, Egersund managed to net three goals, highlighting their potent counter-attacking ability. Egersund's quick opening goal in the 15th minute set the tone, providing them with early momentum.

Defensively, the home side's aggression was evident, as reflected in the 15 fouls and three yellow cards accumulated.
