The heated match between FC Halifax Town and Dorking Wanderers FC that took place on September 16, 2023, ended in a frustrating 1-0 victory for the away team.

Dorking Wanderers FC's efficient use of scoring opportunities appears to be a decisive factor in their victory, as they put 5 shots on target during the game compared to Halifax's 3. Dorking's conversion of one of these into a decisive goal indicates a more efficient attacking strategy that capitalised on their opportunities.

Despite Halifax having more shots off target (5) than Dorking (4), the eventual goal difference goes to show that shots off target cannot determine the outcome of a match. The Halifax attacking force wasn't lethal enough to keep Dorking's goalkeeper on the back foot.

Defending on both sides was disciplined, with no team recording a yellow or red card. This shows both teams had a tactical approach to their game, avoiding unnecessary fouls that could have disrupted their plans. However, Wanderers committed one more foul than Halifax which didn't shake their win, despite the home team having a positional advantage.

Generally, Dorking's teamwork and performance surpassed Halifax as the data shows. They created more assists (3) than Halifax (2), which clearly contributed to their scoring margin. In addition, they claimed the advantage in corner kicks (3) over Halifax (2), which could indicate a more aggressive attacking approach.

The home team did make the same number of substitutions as the away team (3), indicating an equal desire to change tactics or personnel throughout the match. Unfortunately, these changes did not pay off for Halifax as they did for Dorking.

One significant aspect where Halifax had an edge was in goalie saves where the home goalie made 4 saves compared to Dorking's 3. This however did not impact the final score as Dorking managed to capitalize on their shots on target to secure a win.

Lastly, a more in-depth view will show that Halifax had fewer offsides (1) than Dorking (2). However, this would generally reflect that Halifax had a less aggressive forward line strategy, without creating enough threat on the Dorking's goal.

In conclusion, the match was won by tactical precision and efficient use of opportunities by Dorking Wanderers FC. They managed to exploit their shots on target and made use of the assists provided. The data highlights the importance of converting opportunities into goals and shows a game is won by small margins. A significant lesson for bettors would be to focus less on positional dominance and more on conversion rates and efficient team play.
