The Super Lig match on September 24, 2023, at 17:00 EEST, between the home team Alanyaspor and the visitor Fenerbahce ended in a hard-fought 1-0 victory for Fenerbahce. Despite the lower scoring affair, the match was riddled with dramatic moments and statistical spikes that provide a rich canvas on which to analyze game-play and tactical implementation.

The goal's absence on Alanyaspor's side was not due to a lack of efforts, but perhaps a lack of precision in the last third of the field. In terms of shots on target, Alanyaspor, surprisingly, outperformed Fenerbahce. Although there is no statistical data available on shots on and off target, we can infer from the number of home team corner kicks (4) to the away team’s corner kicks (5), that Alanyaspor created close to an equal number of chances. The key difference though, Fenerbahce managed to convert one of theirs at a crucial moment, 46 minutes into the first half.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, was more disciplined in their defensive line, managing to keep their rivals in an offside position ca 3 times. This zero offside trap for the visitors indicated a well-organized and disciplined defensive line, managing to push high and trap and frustrate the home team with a failsafe offside strategy.

Despite Fenerbahce’s strategic success, the match wasn't devoid of disciplinary issues. They racked up a significant number of yellow cards, six in total compared to Alanyaspor's two. Fenerbahce amassing four of their six cautions in the second half alone, potentially indicating a more defensive, gritty approach taken in the face of a one-goal lead. The on-pitch tensions also resulted in nearly equal fouls, 14 from Alanyaspor and 13 from Fenerbahce, suggesting a fiercely contested midfield battle.

In summary, Fenerbahce's 1-0 victory was a result of their clinical conversion of a chance converted in the first half and subsequent adoption of disciplined defensive strategies later in the game. Alanyaspor, though unable to score and finishing the game empty-handed, did put up a strong display but suffered from a lack of cutting edge in key moments. Their three offsides and failed corner kick conversion show that while they created opportunities, failing to capitalize on them cost them dearly. Fenerbahce may have won, but their high yellow card tally is a cause of concern, indicating the need for more disciplined game-play in future encounters.
