Looking back at the Turkish Cup faceoff that took place on January 16, 2024 at 10:00 EEST, between Fatih Karagumruk SK and Kirklarelispor, it was Fatih Karagumruk SK's day as they delivered an impressive performance leading to a 2-0 victory.

The aggressiveness of the home team was evident right from kick-off and this was reflected statistically. Fatih Karagumruk SK scored their goals in the second half of the game, with the first being scored at 53 minutes and 23 seconds, followed by the second at the 83rd minute and 44 seconds (1:23:44 in the second half). The timing of these goals indicated a persistent attack throughout the game, which eventually guaranteed them a win.

In terms of dicipline on the pitch, both teams had issues with the referee's book. Kirklarelispor saw the worst of it, receiving two yellow cards in the first half at 20 and 46 minutes, and another one in the second half at 76 minutes. Fatih Karagumruk SK on the other hand received both of their yellow cards in the second half, at 46 and 69 minutes.

Corner kicks provide another telling aspect of ball possession and attacking intensity, and Fatih Karagumruk led in this category with a total of 5 against Kirklarelispor's solitary corner. Clearly, the home team took control of the ball, pushing forward more frequently and earning the payoff from their offensive energy.

However, looking at the offsides, it is clear that both teams were vigilant and did not give each other easy chances. Fatih Karagumruk found themselves offside 4 times, indicating that their quest for goals was not without desperation. On the other hand, Kirklarelispor, despite being on the back foot for most of the game, managed to get themselves called offside 5 times, indicating their consistent, albeit fruitless, attempts to get behind the defense.

In summary, Fatih Karagumruk SK didn't just win the game by chance, their performance paints a picture of a team that was more assertive in front of goal, more consistent in attack, and better at maintaining possession. This was clearly not Kirklarelispor's best day, especially given their three yellow cards indicating that frustrations may have run high as they were largely kept at bay. The most significant factors in this game’s outcome were Fatih Karagumruk SK’s aggressive attacking structure that resulted in scoring opportunities and their resilience in defence, making it hard for Kirklarelispor to find the back of their net.
