Based on the available statistical data, Barnsley outperformed Fleetwood Town in a close match that ended with the away team scoring a decisive 2-1 victory. The impact of shots on target was probably the most significant factor determining the outcome.

The offensive efficiency of Barnsley was notable with a total of seven shots on target out of ten attempted. It's noteworthy that 70% of their shots were on target, compared to Fleetwood Town's less efficient attempt-ratio, which had only 40% of their shots on target out of a total of ten shots attempted. This superior offensive efficiency was likely a key driver in Barnsley's win.

Despite their defeat, Fleetwood Town displayed resilience in their backline. Their goalkeeper saved five out of the seven shots on target, compared to Barnsley's goalkeeper who saved three out of four. That amounted to a save percentage of 71% for Fleetwood compared to 75% for Barnsley, hardly noteworthy as a deciding factor.

Both teams displayed equally aggressive tactical changes with three substitutions each. However, Barnsley demonstrated more effectiveness in utilising their set-piece opportunities with five corner kicks, leading to more scoring chances compared to Fleetwood's three.

The aggression of both teams was also evident in the number of fouls committed. Fleetwood Town committed a higher number of fouls (13 against Barnsley’s 9). This factor showed Fleetwood's high-pressure style but also cost them valuable possession time.

In terms of teamwork, Barnsley seemed to have a slight edge with two assists leading to goals, whereas Fleetwood issued only one assist. This provided Barnsley extended opportunities in front of goal.

In conclusion, Barnsley's domination in terms of shots on target, efficient use of corner kicks, and collaborative play with two assists, overshadowed Fleetwood's defensive efforts leading to the 2-1 victory. In future, Fleetwood Town may need to focus their strategies on offensive efficiency.
