While it was on the high-scoring end, the thrilling match between Sunderland (Wom) and Lewes FC (Wom) on 18th February 2024 was indeed a spectacle that was much more tactical and aggressive than the scoreline may suggest. Discussed below is an analysis based on the data and statistical factors that contributed to the final result of Sunderland's 4-3 victory.

As evident from the match stats, goals played a crucial role in this match. Lewes FC (Wom) were the first to score barely a few minutes into the match, but Sunderland responded rapidly by netting two goals within the first half's initial 13 minutes. However, Lewes FC levelled the scores just before the first half's closure. In the second half, Lewes FC again pulled ahead, but Sunderland in the end demonstrated exemplary grit and determination, scoring two goals within the final 15 minutes of the game, thus securing the victory.

In terms of discipline though, Sunderland struggled, with five yellow cards, hinting more tactical fouls or even possible careless aggression in their play, while Lewes only collected one yellow card throughout the match.

Interestingly, despite the free-flowing action, the corner kicks statistic was quite low, with only three corner kicks conceded by Lewes FC, and just one by Sunderland. For Sunderland, the low corner kicks suggest an effective defense that was able to block shots or clear the ball from risky areas. On the contrary, the limited Sunderland corner kicks suggest that Lewes FC struggled in accurately putting shots on goal.

The high number of offsides – four for Sunderland and two for Lewes – indicate teams trying to break down each other's defences with quick and often offside prone forward plays.

In conclusion, while Sunderland emerged victorious, they did struggle with discipline and were frequently caught offside. Despite these, their determination to bounce back every time they conceded, especially towards the nail-biting end, indicates a resilient team spirit that likely won them the match. Lewes FC, on the other hand, despite a disciplined performance, lacked the defensive acumen to handle Sunderland's aggressive attack, particularly in the game's final minutes.
