Hendon FC had six shots on target from five attempts, resulting in two goals, implying a 33.3% success rate. In contrast, Weymouth FC had four shots on target but failed to convert any of those chances, indicating their struggle to beat the Hendon FC's goalkeeper, who made four crucial saves.

Additionally, Weymouth FC was less precise when reaching the final third as they had six shots off target, compared to Hendon FC's three. This sharpness in Hendon's attack was augmented by their superior off-the-ball movement, leading to two successful offsides.
