The match between Sutton United FC and Grimsby Town on 14th March, 2023 ended in a 1-0 narrow win for the away team, Grimsby Town. Their ability to strike early and hold on to the lead is the critical factor that decided the match's outcome. Grimsby Town managed to score their solitary goal at the 34th minute of the first half. This early lead may have set the pace of play for the rest of the match and put Sutton United FC on their back foot.

Despite losing, Sutton United had an upper hand when it comes to corner kicks as the home team had five corner kicks while Grimsby Town only had three. However, Sutton United FC was unable to leverage these set-pieces to turn the tide. This highlights a clear weakness when it comes to capitalizing on set-piece opportunities which, given their frequency in this match, could have potentially changed the outcome.

Another key pointer in this match was the fact that Sutton United FC was awarded four yellow cards while Grimsby Town obtained two. This is indicative of the fact that Sutton United may have struggled to keep their composure, and their aggressive style of play ultimately did not pay off. This exacerbated their situation, especially towards the end of the second half when two yellow cards were shown in quick succession at 01:36:31 and 01:37:18, further destabilizing their defensive line.

Moreover, considering their lack of goals scored, this amount of fouling may also suggest that Sutton United FC had to resort to aggressive tactics due to an inability to maintain ball possession or make constructive progressive play up field against Grimsby Town's formation.

In conclusion, Grimsby Town were efficient in their goal scoring, taking an early lead which they successfully defended. The effective management of their fouls coupled with their higher efficiency in front of goal ensured they successfully held onto their slim lead. Conversely, Sutton United FC lost out as they failed to convert from set-piece opportunities and their aggressive style leading to yellow cards may have disrupted their momentum of play.
