In the recent high-tension FA Trophy match on the 7th of October 2023, AFC Totton emerged victorious over Plymouth Parkway FC with a narrow win of 2-1. AFC Totton secured home advantage, but the statistics suggest a closely fought competition, with the outcome potentially influenced by several pivotal factors.

AFC Totton was more effective in the utilization of their shots. With 7 shots on target compared to Plymouth's 8, they managed to convert two into goals while Plymouth could only muster a single goal. However, the lesser number of shots off target (3) by Totton indicates a concentrated attacking play focused on precision, while Plymouth had an evenly split shooting strategy with 8 shots on target and 5 off.

AFC Totton's goalkeeper was kept busy with 7 saves, indicating the strong offensive pressure from Plymouth Parkway FC. The home team can credit their victory to excellent goalkeeping performance.

The match was a physical encounter with an almost identical number of fouls from both sides (AFC 10 and Plymouth 9). The foul count and the number of offsides revealed a defensive and tactical pattern from both teams as they actively kept their formation to not expose any gaps. Remarkably, both teams showed great discipline, with no red or yellow cards issued during the match.

It's evident that corner kicks played a major role in the match, with Parkway FC dominating in this regard. However, they were unable to convert these opportunities into goals, credit going to AFC Totton's sturdy defensive set-pieces that negated the advantage.

The strategic timing and selection of substitutions can often change the face of the game. In this case, shocks of tactical changes came from Plymouth with 3 substitutions as opposed to AFC's 2 substitutions.

In conclusion, the match was a tight contest with both the teams showing strength in their gameplay. However, the precision in the shooting and the excellent goalkeeping performance by AFC Totton played key roles in their victory. Plymouth Parkway FC showed promise and played a strong offensive game. However, their inability to capitalize on the more significant number of corner kicks and some key saves from the opposing goalkeeper inhibited their success on the day.
