Coverage:

In the National League on February 3rd, 2024, the encounter between Dorking Wanderers FC and AFC Fylde ended in favour of the away team with a 1-3 score. The match saw some crucial turning points which influenced the outcome substantially.

AFC Fylde displayed a more effective offence, despite having fewer corner kicks (1) compared to Dorking Wanderers FC (8). The statistic indicates that AFC Fylde was able to capitalise effectively on their single corner opportunity early in the game, which translated to goals, whereas Dorking Wanderers FC struggled to convert their corner opportunities into scores.

The away team opened the scoring at 00:36:55 in the first half, which set the momentum for the match. They doubled their lead at the brink of the first half at 00:45:24, leaving Dorking Wanderers in a tough position at the halftime mark. Despite a marked aggression from the home team in the second half, AFC Fylde netted another goal at 01:10:27, taking the match seemingly out of Dorking Wanderers' reach.

Dorking Wanderers did manage to pull a goal back in the final stages of the game at 01:35:07, but it proved to be a consolation goal rather than the start of a fightback. It could be seen that the goal timing heavily influenced the game as AFC Fylde managed to score early and maintain the lead, putting pressure on the home team.

In terms of disciplinary actions, both teams endured equal yellow card sanctions with two issued for both sides. It didn't significantly affect the number of players on the field, as no red cards were dispensed.

The home team was caught offside more than the away team (3 compared to 0), indicating a possible lack of communication and understanding among the attackers in trying to break down a disciplined AFC Fylde defence line.

Taking into account these key factors - the goal timing, conversion of corner kicks, and offsides - it reveals why AFC Fylde managed to secure a win despite playing away from home. Both teams displayed grit and discipline but AFC Fylde's efficient offensive play turned out to be the game changer on this occasion.
