In this League Two competition between Grimsby Town and Newport County, held on 06th April 2024, we saw Grimsby Town claim victory, thanks to their well-coordinated play and focused attack. The team's ability to put more shots on target (5 compared to Newport County's 3) greatly contributed to their 1-0 win. Although Newport County had a total of 9 attempts at goal, their overall performance shows they struggled to find accuracy, with twice as many shots off target (6) as on target.

When it came to set pieces, Grimsby Town showed superior positioning and tactics, earning a total of 3 corner kicks while Newport County only managed 1. This offered Grimsby Town more opportunities to challenge the opposing goalkeeper, forcing Newport County to concentrate more on defensive play and maintain their organization at the back, thus limiting their offensive abilities.

Fouls were relatively evenly spread throughout the match, with Grimsby Town slightly leading by committing 10 fouls compared to Newport County's 7. With no cards issued during the match, it was clean and fair play from both teams. This made the game stay open and allowed both teams to express themselves fully tactically without getting shackled by numerous bookings.

Despite making fewer substitutions than the home team, Newport County did not manage to utilize their benched players to turn the game around. Grimsby Town made a total of 3 substitutions, which might have been key in maintaining the freshness and intensity of their squad and holding onto their slim lead.

Finally, looking at the offsides, both teams were cautious, with Grimsby Town caught offside just once and Newport County twice. This reflects a level of discipline from both teams in their forward play and offensive strategy, although it somewhat limited their dynamic attacking possibilities.

Overall, it was Grimsby Town’s more controlled and precise shot accuracy, coupled with a calculated set-piece strategy, that made the difference on the day.
