In the League One encounter between Wigan Athletic and Shrewsbury Town on 28th October 2023, it was a triumph for the home side as they sailed to a 2-0 victory. There was a fearless demonstration of their aggressive tactics and goal-scoring prowess in this match.

Wigan Athletic translated their dominance into tangible success with two concrete goals, one from each half. Their first goal came relatively early in the first half, at just the 35th-minute mark - a crucial psychological advantage that possibly disoriented the visitors. The second goal solidified their control over the match when it landed 66 minutes into the second half.

Comparatively, Shrewsbury Town failed to find their way to the opponent's net, even though they were not heavily burdened by offside calls, with no offsides registered against them throughout the game.

In terms of discipline, both sides were shown an equal amount of yellow cards, each with a single caution. However, notably, Shrewsbury Town fell a man short after one of their players was dealt a red card. Playing with ten men undoubtedly placed an even greater strain on Shrewsbury Town, further limiting their offensive capabilities.

With regards to set-piece scenarios, Wigan Athletic had the upper hand with corner kicks, earning three compared to Shrewsbury Town just one. That being said, the home team's ability to create more goal-scoring opportunities from corners, and their generally more threatening presence in the opposition area, further showcased their superiority throughout the game.

Despite being more prone to offside errors, with two offsides recorded, Wigan Athletic managed to utilize their tactical dysfunction to their advantage, disrupting Shrewsbury Town's defensive rhythm and progressively seizing control of the match.

In conclusion, it was indeed a well-deserved victory for Wigan Athletic. A proficient use of scoring opportunities, disciplined conduct (barring a few offside errors) and effective use of corners were the key statistical factors driving their victory. The red card and inability of Shrewsbury Town to convert set-piece situation into scoring chances was possibly the turning point, tilting the match decidedly in favour of Wigan Athletic.
