The MTN Elite One showdown between Union Douala and PWD Bamenda ended in a 1-1 stalemate on 5th November 2023. Despite both teams' efforts to clinch three points, it appeared they finished equally matched according to the statistical data compiled during the match.

Analyzing the game strictly by statistics, Union Douala showed more precision in their shots, reflected in their higher shots on target (7) compared to PWD Bamenda's 5 accurate attempts on net. However, the visiting team, PWD Bamenda, launched more total attacks as seen from their combined shots of 13 (5 on target and 8 off target), as against Douala's total strikes of 11.

Interestingly, Union Douala had a better chance creation, courtesy of two assists generated, compared to PWD Bamenda, who failed to create any assists. Nonetheless, the promising play of Douala couldn't reflect on the scoreboard, with only a single goal scored from their seven on-target shots.

Corner kicks were marginally higher for the home team with 3 to 2, showing a generally low rate of wide attacks. Additionally, Douala exhibited more defensive tactics as they committed more fouls (12) compared to Bamenda’s 9. However, their rigour didn't translate into cards because no yellow or red cards were issued to either team – an indication of a relatively fair play.

Both teams made strategic substitutions to influence the game course, with the home team, Douala making three changes, whereas Bamenda made two.

On the offsides front, PWD Bamenda was caught offside more frequently (3) compared to Union Douala (2), indicating aggressive attacking play, albeit with less stringent timing.

In conclusion, with both teams converting only one goal each, despite multiple attempts and strategic gameplay, the game underscored the importance of finishing efficiency in football. While Union Douala made less total attempts than PWD Bamenda, their higher accuracy demonstrated better control and decision making on the final third. Conversely, Bamenda's frequent offside infringements and less accuracy in their shots exposed their missed opportunities and need for improved synchrony in attack.

While the match may have ended in a 1-1 draw, the game conveyed its share of lessons and insights upon a keen statistical analysis that bettors and tactical pundits can find valuable.
