In the Scottish Premiership on the 1st February 2023, Celtic FC faced off against Livingston FC, resulting in a dominate 3-0 victory for the home side.
A staggering moment in the match was that all of Celtic FC's successful goals were achieved in the first half of the match, with the first coming as early as 00:28:17. This goal flustered Livingston, but Celtic didn't relent, putting in another just a few minutes later at 00:31:50. By the end of the first half, Celtic already had a strong lead of 3-0.
On the discipline side, both teams received one yellow card each during the second half, suggesting a well-contested but fairly clean game overall. It's worth noting that Celtic FC's yellow card came late in the game at 01:19:56 after their lead was already established.
Ball possession is indicated by the number of corner kicks, which showed a clear domination by Celtic FC with a total of 8 corner kicks compared to Livingston FC's none. Successful attacks are frequently initiated from offside positions, but the data showed that Livingston couldn’t even make a single offside attempt. This lack of offensive effort reflected in the match scoreline. Celtic FC, on the other hand, recorded 7 offsides which show their aggressive attacking commitment throughout the game.
The defensive qualities of both teams can be inferred from the fouls. Livingston committed a smaller number of fouls (3), indicating a lack of physicality in their play that may have cost them, whereas Celtic displayed a more aggressive style with 8 fouls committed throughout the match. However, this did not lead to any red cards which shows that they managed to maintain a balance between aggression and disciplinary conduct.
Overall, the match was dominated by Celtic FC both offensively and defensively, which was reflected in the match results. The pivotal turning point was undoubtedly the two quick goals Celtic scored early in the match. Livingston FC, by contrast, failed to find a competitive rhythm and put no real pressure on their opponent's defence, as shown by their lack of corner kicks and offsides. Despite their lesser number of fouls, their passive approach seemed to have cost them the game.
