This segment is dedicated to the National League match between Ebbsfleet United FC and Dorking Wanderers FC that took place on September 26, 2023, at 18:45 EEST. This was a hard-fought match with Dorking Wanderers FC emerging victorious by a close 1-0. The only goal, which proved decisive, was scored at 58:20 in the second half.

Dorking Wanderers FC displayed superior finishing, converting one of their opportunities from the expected range. However, it also endured some tough moments with discipline, accumulating four yellow cards throughout the game. This increased tension significantly and definitely affected their gameplay strategy and stress level during the second half of the match, which saw all of the yellow cards distributed.

Ebbsfleet United FC, despite not scoring, created more opportunities than their opponent, executing six corner kicks against the four of Dorking Wanderers FC, indicating a potential advantage in the field. However, the lack of finishing precision in these set-piece scenarios was noticeable and unfortunately resulted in no goals for Ebbsfleet.

Interestingly, Ebbsfleet United FC also found themselves caught offside three times compared to just a single offside violation committed by Dorking Wanderers FC. This suggests a potential aggression in approach from Ebbsfleet, but it also indicates a possible lack of coordination in their forward line, as well as a well-disciplined defence from Dorking.

In terms of discipline, Ebbsfleet United FC maintained clean sheet and didn't receive any cards, in comparison to Dorking's four yellow cards. However, this also might indicate Dorking's more aggressive and passionate defence, risking cards to prevent dangerous attacks.

In a nutshell, the key factor that separated the teams in this match was ultimately the ability to seize the opportunity when it mattered. Dorking scored from their crucial chances while Ebbsfleet failed to capitalize on their better set-piece scenarios and attacking possessions. The discipline factor also played a role, as the constant threat of a potential sending off could have affected Dorking's operational efficiency late in the game. Finally, the execution of offside traps by Dorking Wanderers deserves mention, contributing to Ebbsfleet's unsuccessful attacking strategies and Dorking's clean sheet. Given these factors, Dorking Wanderers walking away with the three points doesn't seem all that surprising.
