Just from the statistics, it's clear that the match between Mansfield Town and Forest Green Rovers was full of action with several chances being brewed on either end. Mansfield Town took the day with a 2-1 victory over Forest Green Rovers, a result that looked much deserved from the broader performance metrics.

What stands out is the higher number of shots both on and off target for Mansfield Town than the Forest Green Rovers – 14 shots in total compared to Rovers' 10. This shows that Mansfield were more aggressive and looked the more likely side to score. Their higher tally of shots on target (6 as opposed to Forest Green Rovers' 4) likely explains the 2 goals they managed to put past their opponents.

The number of corners on either side somewhat echoes the story of the match. With Mansfield having 5 corner kicks and Forest Green Rovers having 3, it is evident that Mansfield pressed hard, leading the game by forcing more corners.

Looking at the goalkeeper saves, Forest Green Rovers' keeper made four saves compared to Mansfield's three. This may suggest that Forest Green were under more pressure than Mansfield despite the fairly close number of shots on target.

The foul count for both teams indicates this was a tough clash, with 12 fouls committed by Mansfield and 10 by Forest Green. It implies that Mansfield was possibly a bit more aggressive defensively which might have aided in their victory.

In terms of offsides, Forest Green caught offside twice compared to Mansfield's once showing perhaps an eagerness or rush from the Rovers that wasn't present in Mansfield's more patient attack. All three substitutions used by both teams seem to suggest equal desire to change the flow of the game but Mansfield managed it better.

In conclusion, the number of shots, corners and fouls seem to be factors that impacted the final score. Mansfield were clearly the more aggressive side, making more attempts on goal and winning more corners. Their aggressiveness paid off in the end, with a well-deserved win.
