In a tension-filled encounter between Crawley Town and Wrexham FC on October 7, 2023, in the League Two, it was the away team, Wrexham FC, that claimed the spoils with a narrow 1-0 win. This comprehensive analysis seeks to delve into the statistical dynamics that shaped the match and undoubtedly influenced the outcome.

The game’s only goal was an early strike from Wrexham as they found the back of the net in the 13th minute of the contest. This early goal changed the dynamics of the game and put the home team, Crawley Town, on the back foot from the onset.

However, besides scoring the winning goal, Wrexham’s performance wasn't all glittery, especially concerning discipline as reflected in their hefty tally of 6 yellow cards – three in the first half and three in the second half. In comparison, Crawley Town was more disciplined with only 2 yellow cards, both in the second half. The culmination of Wrexham’s lack of discipline came in the form of a red card which saw them being reduced to ten men, something that may have added excessive pressure on their defense.

In terms of set-piece threats, both teams showed a certain level of competitivity with the away team, Wrexham FC, slightly edging out Crawley Town with 8 corner kicks against Crawley’s 6. This indicates a higher level of attacking intensity from Wrexham, which clearly paid off for them with that early goal.

One key statistical factor that would have played a role in the game's dynamics but not directly reflected in this data is goalkeeper saves. This lack of data prevents us from fully understanding how many direct threats on goals each side managed to create and how well each side's goalkeepers were tested.

In conclusion, Wrexham FC, despite their clear issues with maintaining discipline, managed to walk away with all three points, capitalizing on an early goal. This was coupled with an aggressive, attack-minded approach that saw them win more corner kicks than their rivals. Nevertheless, Crawley Town will likely look back on this match and feel that, with better attacking efficiency, they could have exploited the numerical advantage after Wrexham's red card and potentially change the outcome.
