In the National League fixture held on 30th December 2023, Boreham Wood FC outperformed Kidderminster Harriers FC in a close encounter. The match ended with Boreham Wood edging out Kidderminster Harriers 2-1 despite some impressive stats from the home side.

Even though Kidderminster dominated in terms of set-pieces, taking 13 corner kicks in comparison to Boreham's four, they failed to convert those opportunities into goals. At times, this dominance could be construed as the leading sign of Kidderminster's pressuring the opponent, but it didn't reflect the final score, showing that perhaps the strength lied elsewhere or, unfortunately, was left unused.

Boreham Wood's success in this match correlates with their exemplary timing in the first half, scoring their first goal only 26 minutes and 33 seconds into the play, followed by a second goal just before the half-time buzzer at 45 minutes and 8 seconds. Kidderminster did retaliate, pulling one back right at 46 minutes and 45 seconds, right in the dying seconds of the first half.

However, the second half showed a significant amount of tension, with Boreham Wood receiving two yellow cards within four minutes of each other. Kidderminster also received a warning in the form of a yellow card at 71 minutes and 44 seconds. Despite this flurry of bookings, both teams maintained their discipline to end the match without any red cards.

Moreover, offsides hindered both teams equally, with four apiece. This may suggest a lacking element of timing and coordination among both forward lines, or perhaps an aggressive, well-time defence.

In conclusion, although Kidderminster Harriers FC showed signs of pressuring the opponents and held stronger stats in terms of set-piece opportunities, they were unable to translate this into a victory. Boreham Wood FC showed efficient use of their opportunities and managed the better portion of the game despite receiving more yellow cards. Their ability to strike at crucial moments in the first half appears to have played a decisive role in this match.
