The international friendly between Luxembourg and Slovenia was a closely contested match that ended with Slovenia narrowly securing a 1-0 victory. The decisive factor was an early goal by Slovenia, scored 43 minutes into the first half, which set the tone for the remainder of the match. Luxembourg's inability to breach Slovenia's defense was underlined by their failure to convert numerous opportunities, particularly during set pieces, as they earned seven corner kicks compared to Slovenia's three but failed to capitalize on these situations.

In terms of disciplinary issues, Slovenia's aggressive approach was evident, with the team accumulating four yellow cards, highlighting their tendency to apply pressure through physical play. Despite this, they managed to control the pace of the game efficiently enough to maintain their lead without incurring further sanctions or a red card, which could have shifted the match dynamics significantly. Luxembourg, on the other hand, managed to maintain discipline slightly better with only two yellow cards but struggled to convert their more disciplined approach into tangible attacking success.

Both teams demonstrated fairly similar tactical frameworks as reflected in their offsides count, each having been caught offside twice. However, Luxembourg's lack of cutting-edge in attacking positions contrasted with Slovenia's early decisive action. The lack of conversion from set pieces and open play was a significant factor for Luxembourg’s inability to score, despite defensively keeping the match competitive. Slovenia's cohesiveness in defensive transitions and their ability to hold onto the slim lead through tactical discipline ultimately defined the outcome, marking a well-earned away victory in this friendly encounter.
