The World Cup Europe Qualification match between Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands ended with a narrow victory for the visitors, who emerged as 1-0 winners. Statistically, the Faroe Islands dominated the offensive play, evidenced by their seven corner kicks compared to Gibraltar’s three. This aggressiveness in attack paid off as they managed to break the deadlock with a crucial goal in the second half.

Gibraltar’s defense held strong for most of the game, but their discipline was put to the test, collecting three yellow cards. While their fouling was closely matched with the Faroe Islands (12 to 13 fouls), the concentration of yellow cards suggests lapses in focus and control, particularly during pressure situations. The pressure became evident with Gibraltar’s increased physicality resulting in numerous fouling incidents, impacting their ability to maintain sustained attacks.

From a tactical perspective, the Faroe Islands’ ability to control the game's tempo was a significant differentiator. Despite having more offsides (three instances to Gibraltar’s one), which points to an aggressive forward strategy, the successful execution of their set-pieces and ability to maintain possession in the opponent’s half allowed them to convert opportunities into a decisive goal. Their discipline in maintaining only one yellow card reflects a more composed approach in contrast to the home side’s struggles with maintaining defensive discipline under pressure.
