The Championship match on 2nd September 2023 at 14:00 EEST saw Huddersfield Town pull a surprise victory over the home team, West Bromwich Albion, with a scoreline of 2-1.

The game's first goal came relatively early, precisely 00:32:49 into the first half, earned by Huddersfield Town, indicating an initial dominance. However, West Bromwich Albion showed resilience by responding with an equalizing goal at 00:51:35 during the second half. Despite this comeback, Huddersfield Town managed to secure the victory with a final goal at 01:36:16, suggesting a more controlled and aggressive play from them for the majority of the game.

There was noteworthy disparity in corner kicks, with Huddersfield Town taking double the number of corner kicks (8) to West Bromwich Albion's (4). This indicates Huddersfield Town had a noticeably higher degree of control in the home team's half and created more opportunities, a vital factor in their win.

Data also points out that both teams displayed a high level of discipline, as it saw only one yellow card per team. The Away team's yellow card came in the first half at 00:41:11, while West Bromwich Albion received it much later during the second half at 01:38:51. No red cards were issued by the referee, showing a level of control and sportsmanship from both sides effectively.

Offsides also played a vital role in this match - the Away team was caught offside three times, while the home team was caught once. It demonstrates the vigor and ambitious playmaking by Huddersfield Town, though it could also reflect the effective implementation of West Bromwich Albion's defense strategy. Despite this, it seems that the balance tipped in favor of Huddersfield Town catching them offside less resulting in more opportunities.

In summary, the stats show that the deciding factors were Huddersfield Town's more shots on target leading to increased corner kicks, their early lead, and managing to limit their offsides more effectively. West Bromwich Albion showed resilience, but ultimately, their lack of attacking prowess reflected in fewer corner kicks and their single goal scored in the second half led to their downfall in this match.
