The FA Championship Women's match between Charlton Athletic and Lewes FC on 4th February 2024 ended in a 1-1 draw. Though the final score gives the impression of an evenly-matched contest, an analysis of key statistical data reveals a deeper story of the game.

Right from the onset, Lewes FC seemed to have a slightly stronger attack, with them drawing first blood at 00:42:24 in the first half. Interestingly, both the goals were scored in the latter parts of their respective halves which could suggest a habit of building their offensive as the game progresses from both teams.

However, Lewes FC received an intense number of yellow cards, a total of five over the game, marking a high degree of foul play. This high frequency of infringements brought interruptions in their gameplay and affected their game flow. The first two cards were shown close to the end of the first half, at 00:44:13 and 00:47:35, respectively. The final three cards were drawn in the second half, with one early at 00:48:06 and two more at 01:33:51 and 01:37:05. Charlton Athletic, on the other hand, managed to maintain a cleaner field performance, drawing only one yellow card late in the second half, at 01:35:55, which did not drastically impact their game.

Significantly, Charlton Athletic dominated in terms of corner kicks, accumulating a total of 10 compared to only 1 by Lewes FC. This dominance suggests a noticeably more aggressive offensive approach and domestic playing style but shows that they were not being able to convert these set piece opportunities into goals, showcasing a lack in finishing abilities in front of the goal.

In terms of offsides, both teams had an equal number (2 each), indicating a good level of awareness and discipline while penetrating opponent's defense. However, the execution of these opportunities lacked precision as these breakaways did not manifest into goals.

In conclusion, this was a game of offensive dominance from Charlton Athletic which was hampered by their lack of finishing prowess, and gritty defensive performance by Lewes FC which was marred by their foul play. The final scoreline does not accurately reflect Charlton Athletic's control over the game, nor does it shed light on the strange discipline issue presented by the unusually high number of yellow cards received by Lewes FC. However, one thing is clear from analyzing this game - both teams have elements to work on, be it finishing for Charlton or discipline for Lewes, as they move forward in the competition.
