This FA Championship Women's clash between Southampton FC and Sunderland on September 10, 2023, ended with a narrow victory for the away side, Sunderland. A solitary goal in the second half was the difference between the two sides.

Southampton FC displayed a significant offensive presence, but despite producing a total of 6 shots, they were unable to find the back of the net. Four of these attempts were targeted accurately, however, Sunderland's goalkeeper was successful in saving all 4 attempts. This clearly had a significant impact on the outcome of the match as Southampton FC regularly found their efforts thwarted, killing momentum and possible scoring opportunities.

Sunderland had fewer shots on target with 3, but it was their efficiency that was triumphant on the day as they were able to convert one of these attempts. This reflected a more clinical approach from Sunderland when opportunities presented themselves.

In terms of discipline, both teams had a clean slate with no cards given during the match. However, Sunderland committed slightly more fouls with 14 compared to Southampton FC's 12, but this didn't affect the game's result significantly.

Set pieces, a vital part of any match, also had a role to play in this game. Southampton FC, with 5 corner kicks, couldn't convert these opportunities into an equalizing goal. Sunderland, with 4 corners, didn't fare any better in utilizing their set-pieces.

In terms of offsides, Sunderland had 2, compared to Southampton's single offside, indicating a more critical eye for exploiting the opposition's defensive line. But again, this didn't have a discernible impact on the match.

Three substitutions were made by each team indicating the manager's will to alter the flow of the game and bring in fresh legs.

When analyzing the stats connected to the teams' performance, one can deduce that Sunderland was notably more efficient in converting their limited shots. Meanwhile, Southampton FC, despite more shots on target and more corner kicks, needed better precision and potency in their offense. This was most likely the crucial factor that defined the result of this encounter. The Sunderland goalkeeper's 4 saves also deserve recognition for keeping a clean sheet.
