The FA Championship - Women's match on the 22nd of October 2023, saw Durham FC (Women's) hosting Blackburn Rovers (Women's) at 11:00 EEST. The performance of both teams provided an interesting spectacle for fans and bettors alike, highlighting several key statistical factors.

Durham FC emerged as the winners with a 2-1 scoreline. The offensive impact of Durham was already felt in the first half of the match with quick successive goals at 22:19 and 28:11 minutes into the game. Blackburn managed to recoup somewhat at 37:50, however, they didn't manage to equalize by full time.

Notably, the attacking tactics of Durham could be inferred from the number of offsides and corner kicks against them. Durham FC was caught offside six times, indicating their high pressing game and an aggressive forward line. While this can sometimes backfire in terms of possession loss, in this case, it indicates that Durham FC kept the pressure up which likely contributed to their 2 goals. Also, with 6 corner kicks in comparison to Blackburn's 3, they created more scoring chances.

However, Durham's aggressive gameplay wasn't without a cost. They picked up four yellow cards, all in the second half, indicating a possible lapse in discipline or a heightened desperation to maintain their lead. This could have easily led to a red card, leaving them a player down, which is something they might need to consider in future matches.

Blackburn Rovers on the other hand, played remarkably clean, evident from zero offsides and only one yellow card against them. Their more cautious approach, however, resulted in less aggressive offensive play, which was reflected in their lower number of goals and corner kicks.

In conclusion, Durham's aggressive offensive tactics and successful execution of it served them well in securing a victory, although the high number of yellow cards indicates potential disciplinary issues, which they should look to manage in future games. From Blackburn's perspective, while disciplined in their game play, they might need to take more calculated risks offensively to improve their chances of scoring goals.
