In the League One match held on 24 October 2023, it was an evenly contested duel which eventually saw Carlisle United edge Burton Albion 2-1. There were no instances of red or yellow cards being shown to either of the teams, assuring a fair and disciplined play from both ends.

Carlisle United decided to utilize all three of their available substitutions, potentially indicating a more proactive and fluid tactical approach compared to Burton Albion who only made two changes.

Both teams displayed an attacking mindset, as reflected with 11 and 10 total shots from Carlisle United and Burton Albion respectively. Despite Burton Albion managing to get one more shot on target than the home team, Carlisle United showed more precision by scoring with 40% of their on-target efforts, compared to Albion's 16.7%. This eventually proved to be a key distinguishing factor in the match outcome.

A commendable performance from Carlisle's goalkeeper also played a crucial role in shaping the match, making 5 saves and allowing only one goal. Burton's goalkeeper, on the other hand, managed to make 3 saves but conceded two goals, indicating that Carlisle's attacks were more potent and well-directed.

Corner kicks and offsides were fairly evenly distributed, Burton gaining a minor advantage in terms of corners (with 4 compared to Carlisle's 2), which however, they failed to capitalize on. Similarly, Burton had one more offside than Carlisle, affecting their efficiency in attack.

On the discipline front, both teams were on the slightly aggressive side with Carlisle committing 8 fouls versus Burton's 7, but nothing significant to offset the general flow of the game.

Synthesizing these statistical factors, it is clear that Carlisle United's superior finishing and robust defending were the key drivers of their victory in this competitive fixture against Burton Albion.
