The Women's Cup match between Sogndal IL (Wom) and Arna-Bjornar (Wom) on 31 May 2023 was a real spectacle of competitive football. The away team, Arna-Bjornar came out on top with a 4-2 victory, in a game heavily characterized by aggressive attacks and goal opportunities.
Arna-Bjornar started the match on a high note, scoring their first goal as early as 45 minutes and 30 seconds into the first half. Sogndal IL, however, came back strongly in the second half scoring two fast goals at 46 minutes 51 seconds and 1 hour 33 minutes 19 seconds respectively. However, they could not hold their lead and conceded two more goals, the first at 1 hour 19 minutes and 16 seconds to Arna-Bjornar.
A notable analysis from this game comes from the corner kicks statistics. Here we see that Arna-Bjornar significantly outnumbered Sogndal by 7 to 3, suggesting a more attacking approach and increased time spent in the opposition half. This aligns with the results, as they managed to score twice as many goals as the home team.
Despite this, the match was not an entirely smooth sailing for Arna-Bjornar as they played on the edge with five offsides compared to just one offside from Sogndal IL. Such a statistic points towards a potential reckless approach from their attackers and is certainly a factor they will need to look into for future games.
Contrarily, the statistics also give a hint at the level of discipline in both teams with only three fouls registered throughout the game. Interestingly, Arna-Bjornar, the away team, registered only one foul while Sogndal IL committed two, an insight that explains the low number of yellow cards shown in the game. In fact, the yellow card count was minuscule, with only one card against Arna-Bjornar.
In conclusion, this was a clearly competitive match, with Arna-Bjornar showing a more attacking approach which was rewarded with a win despite being unusually offside prone. This approach also saw them create more goal-scoring opportunities from corner kicks. Sogndal IL, while matching their opponents during certain periods of the match, would need to address their defensive strategy to protect against the threat of attacks from their rivals.
In future games, bettors might want to put money on Arna-Bjornar when they're the away team due to their impressive attacking capabilities, despite their high offside count. This, however, should be balanced against Sogndal IL’s low foul count and the possibility of them turning their defensive discipline into offensive opportunities.
