The football match in question took place on 25 July 2023, during the Scottish League Cup event. St. Johnstone FC hosted Ayr United FC, making a memorable evening worthy of our analysis.

The match ended with an away win for Ayr United FC, scoring two goals against the St. Johnstone's sole goal. Both teams displayed high levels of discipline and sportsmanship as reflected by the absence of red cards in the match. However, the four yellow cards issued to Ayr United FC could indicate an element of aggression in their game play that perhaps contributed to their victory.

Looking at the goal timeline, Ayr United FC opened the scoring at the 29th minute. St. Johnstone FC was quick to respond with an equalizer, scored at the 43rd minute toward the end of the first half. In the second half, Ayr United FC managed to net one more goal at the 75th minute, clinching the win.

The match was evenly poised in terms of corner kicks with both teams having four each. Possession from these set-pieces didn't dramatically impact the game, as the goals were not evidently a result of these corner kicks. However, the equal distribution of corner chances indicates a balanced battle in terms of territorial control.

Offsides also didn't dramatically sway the game's momentum or outcome. Both teams had one offside each, suggesting well-choreographed movements on the pitch, with both teams exhibiting a balanced risk-taking attitude while on the attack.

St. Johnstone FC had slightly better discipline with only two yellow cards compared to Ayr United FC's four. Nonetheless, the fouling strategy of Ayr United FC seemed to pay off as they managed to maintain a slim lead till the end.

In conclusion, Ayr United FC's success could be attributed to their aggression and controlled-risk play, resulting in a hard-earned victory against St. Johnstone FC. Despite being away from home, they managed to maintain control and dominate in critical areas. However, their discipline in terms of fouls and yellow cards is a point to watch in forthcoming games, as this could jeopardize their performances going forward.

Based on this analytical coverage, future bettors might anticipate a similar approach from Ayr United FC in their upcoming games, making them a worthy consideration for an underdog wager. On the other hand, St. Johnstone FC would need to reconsider their defensive strategies in an effort to let fewer goals through.
