In the League Two game that happened on 22nd April 2023, Salford City emerged victorious in an intensely battled match against Walsall with a 3-2 scoreline.

Salford City crossed the finish line ahead even though the home team, Walsall, showed two bursts of life after falling behind - moreover, in an impressive feat, they had a 2-goal outing. While it was a closely matched game, the statistics provide every clue about the outcome and the performance of the teams.

The scoring was opened early by the away team, with a goal just under six minutes into the first half (00:05:48), applying early pressure on the home players. Not buckling under the pressure, Walsall responded later in the match by equalizing early into the second half (01:01:27).

This suggests they ended up having superior ball possession and territorial dominance, placing them in a striking position more consistently.

Taking a closer look at the discipline in the game, Walsall accrued a hefty 3 yellow cards, compared to Salford's one yellow card. This likely could've disrupted the flow and concentration of their game play, accruing fouls brings play to a halt, and acts as a momentum breaker. An important fact to note is the red card given to the away team - even with one man down, Salford managed to hold their fort and secure a win.

In conclusion, Salford’s resilience in keeping the lead, their efficiency on corners and the ability to maintain composure despite being a man down are major factors that contributed to their victory. Meanwhile, breathing down their necks throughout the match, Walsall showed their competitive spirit, but they must reconsider their discipline on the pitch and capitalise more on their scoring opportunities in the future matches.
