The match between Gefle IF and Ostersunds FK ended in a goalless draw, a reflection of the evenly matched performance between the two sides. Statistically, both teams displayed solid defensive work which was evident from the lack of goals scored. Gefle IF conceded fewer corner kicks (4) compared to Ostersunds FK’s 8, indicating that the home side had periods of strong defensive positioning and awareness, particularly in dead-ball situations.

However, the stress on defense may have come at the cost of offensive pressure for Gefle IF, as they failed to trigger any offsides — a sign of a less aggressive forward line. Ostersunds FK managed to catch Gefle offside once, which suggests that they at least attempted to play a forward pass to break the defensive lines, albeit without success in scoring. The discipline of the defensive line was further evidenced by the teams only receiving, overall, two yellow cards each, despite the match’s physical nature with 13 fouls committed by Gefle IF and 8 by Ostersunds FK.

The potential for goals was further stifled by the significant number of fouls, particularly by Gefle IF, contributing to a disrupted rhythm in play. Conversely, Ostersunds FK displayed more controlled aggression, managing fewer fouls while maintaining a similar level of competitiveness. The even distribution of yellow cards indicates a balanced but restrained aggression on both sides, which played a role in maintaining a goalless outcome. This statistic underscores the importance of discipline and composure under pressure in such tight contests. Overall, while both teams exhibited commendable defensive attributes, their lack of clinical finishing and offensive efficacy resulted in a stalemate.
