This electrifying match of League One between Bristol Rovers and Bolton Wanderers ended with a narrow victory for the Bolton Wanderers with a 3-2 score. Both teams appeared to be equal in their aggressive play style yet Bolton Wanderers managed to capitalize their actions into goals.

Statistically, Bolton Wanderers had a great display of their offense with 8 corner kicks compared to Bristol Rovers' 4. This gave them more goal-scoring opportunities, one of the aspects that may have tilted the scales in Bolton's favor.

The match was anything but uneventful with 5 goals scored in total. Bolton was first to get on the scoreboard at 24 minutes in the first half. However, Bristol Rovers responded promptly with a goal just 4 minutes later, leveling the score. The game turned in Bolton's favor in the second half where they scored twice, at the 69th and 76th minute, securing a temporary 3-1 lead. Despite Bristol managing to get another one in at the 84th minute, it was not enough to salvage the match.

Interestingly, the relatively evenly matched nature of the game was also reflected in the foul count with only 3 fouls recorded throughout the match; 2 from Bristol Rovers and 1 by Bolton Wanderers. However, the emotional tension of the matchup was palpable as four yellow cards were shown during the game; 3 to Bolton players and only 1 to Bristol.

It's also worth mentioning that while Bristol received less yellow cards, the timing of that card might have been critical. The home team's yellow card was given towards the last few minutes of the game around the 93rd minute and could have been a contributing factor to Bristol being unable to secure an equalizer due to a potential setback in team's morale or ability to focus in such critical moments.

In conclusion, while both teams presented competitive gameplay, the data shows that Bolton Wanderers were able to control the game slight better through efficient use of corners which resulted in more goal opportunities. Combining this with their more aggressive and high-risk playstyle indicated by the higher yellow card count, the Bolton team managed to sneak past Bristol Rovers for a hard-earned 3-2 victory.
