In this tightly contested match between Margate FC and Folkestone Invicta FC in the Isthmian Premier Division, the single goal scored by Folkestone Invicta FC during the first half proved decisive. In a match where both teams had their chances, accurate shooting played a crucial role.

Examining the shooting performance data, it is evident that Folkestone Invicta FC had a slightly better advantage with 5 shots on target compared to Margate's 3, possibly suggesting better offensive co-ordination. Despite both teams having a relatively close number of total shots, with Margate FC having 7 (3 on target, 4 off target) and Folkestone Invicta FC with 11 (5 on target, 6 off target), Folkestone Invicta FC proved to be more precise in their shooting.

In the aspect of set pieces, Folkestone Invicta FC will be satisfied with their performance. They recorded 4 corner kicks, twice as many as Margate FC, that may have contributed to their offensive pressure and goal scoring chance.

In terms of disciplinary records, it was a clean match devoid of yellow cards and red cards. Margate FC committed more fouls with a total of 12 compared to Folkestone Invicta FC's 8. This potentially shows their desperation in stopping Folkestone's attacks as the game proceeded.

Margate FC might want to reassess their offside strategy as they were caught offside twice, compared to Folkestone Invicta FC who were flagged offside 3 times, although neither team fell foul excessively. The equal number of substitutions, 3 each, indicates an equally balanced plan by both coaches to inject fresh energy into the game as it progressed.

A keen analysis of these statistics points to a match of fine margins, with Folkestone Invicta FC capitalising on their slight attacking advantage, affirmed by their higher number of shots on target and corner kicks. Margate FC's higher number of fouls and missed shot opportunities may have left them on the backfoot. Thus, while both teams demonstrated commendable performance and teamwork, Folkestone Invicta FC's efficient attacking decisiveness was the most impactful factor in the match outcome.
