This match between FC Basel and FC Luzern on 28th January 2023 was an intensely competitive showdown. The away team, FC Luzern, managed to clinch a victory with a 3-2 scoreline. However, not only goals but various other factors also contributed to shaping the outcome of the match.

FC Basel's strong opening with a rapid first goal at 16:48 first-half seemed to set the tone for the match. However, FC Luzern's resilience was clear as they bounced back in the second half to overturn the early disadvantage. The first equalizer came just an hour into the game, followed by another goal just 14 minutes later, indicating Luzern's more efficient offense during the second half. Though Basel managed to level the score at 2-2 at 77:23, Luzern did not let their spirits dampen and scored the winning goal in the 88th minute.

The match was not without confrontations, with FC Luzern seeing a much higher number of yellow cards than their rivals. At 4 yellow cards against Basel's only 1, this speaks to Luzern's harsher defensive approach compared to their counterparts on the pitch. In terms of fouls, the game was similarly contentious with FC Luzern committing 11 fouls against FC Basel's 9. This indicates FC Luzern's overly aggressive play, an area they might need to keep in check.

When examining offside instances, both teams were equally flagged once during the game. The same was reflected in corner kicks where both teams won a total of 5 corner kicks each, suggesting a balance in attacking opportunities.

Arguably, the decisive factor for this fixture might have been found in the finishing skill of each team. Both teams scored their goals in relatively equal durations giving neither a time of possession advantage, but in the end, it was FC Luzern who made more of their scoring opportunities, ultimately having a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

Overall, despite FC Luzern's more aggressive approach reflected in the greater frequency of fouls and bookings, they came out on top thanks to effective attacking dynamics in the second half of the game. On the other hand, FC Basel despite starting strong and matching Luzern in corners, offsides and fouls, was unable to capitalize on their opportunities as effectively, leading to their loss.
