Harrogate's offensive prowess was evident with superior shots on target at 11 against 7 for Newport County. Despite Newport County goalkeeper's tenacity making 10 saves, he was unable to thwart two crucial shots by Harrogate. The successful conversions from Harrogate were also facilitated by strong collaborative efforts as depicted by their 2 assists.

Harrogate's defense, while not as sturdy as their attack, held up fairly well. With a close number of fouls given away, 9 compared to Newport County's 8, Harrogate showed measured aggression in their defensive tactics. Harrogate's goalkeeper also demonstrated good form, with 5 saves to his name.

Harrogate's 7 corners as against 4 by Newport indicated a dominance in possession and attacking threat. This perhaps put consistent pressure on Newport's defense leading to more chances for Harrogate to convert. Despite being called offside on 3 occasions, Harrogate managed to restrict Newport's attacking threat to only 2 offsides indicating a well-disciplined defensive line.

Both teams implemented 3 substitutions, ensuring fresh legs and tactical adaptations. However, the match remained free from disciplinary action in terms of red and yellow cards.

In conclusion, although it was a closely contested match, Harrogate Town AFC's aggressive and precise attacks, combined with consistent pressure and discipline in defense played a significant role in decisive victory. The number of shots on goal, assists, goalkeeper saves and corner kicks are noteworthy statistical factors that determined the final outcome of the match. Newport County will have to fine-tune their defense and improve their offense strategies for their future matches.
