The National League North match between Buxton FC and Gloucester City AFC on 04 March 2023, ended with Buxton FC edging the win, scoring 2-1. Based on this match's statistics, several factors significantly impacted the result.

Primarily, Buxton FC was significantly more accurate with their strikes that were on target. They achieved five shots on target compared to Gloucester City AFC's three. This suggests that Buxton FC had better shooting accuracy and potentially better attacking prowess within the game. Despite both teams making an approximately equal quantity of attempts, as suggested by the shots off target (Buxton FC six to Gloucester City AFC's seven), Buxton FC were more precise when it mattered.

Defensively, both teams demonstrated sound goalkeeper performance, with Buxton FC making 2 saves, compared to the 3 by the Gloucester City AFC goalkeeper. This point suggests that the loss for Gloucester City AFC may have been greater without the effective role of their goalkeeper.

Taking set-piece performance into consideration, Buxton FC had a slight edge with 4 corner kicks to Gloucester City AFC's 3. Additionally, Buxton FC showed a better offside trap, catching Gloucester City AFC offside twice, while only falling foul to offside once themselves. These factors suggest superior organisational skills in terms of positioning and strategy from Buxton FC.

In terms of sportsman like conduct, both teams exercised discipline with zero red cards and zero yellow cards recorded on each side. However, Gloucester City AFC conceded more fouls with 12 compared to Buxton FC's 10, indicating a slightly more aggressive gameplay, which may have resulted in the loss of ball possession and thereby opposing scoring opportunities.

Lastly, Buxton FC only used one substitution, which could suggest a stronger starting XI that was able to endure the game predominantly without requiring reinforcements, in contrast to Gloucester City AFC that used two substitutions, potentially hinting at a more fatigued or less effective line-up.

Overall, Buxton FC's superior accuracy, set-piece execution, discipline, and perhaps slightly fresher line-up appear to have been influential factors leading to their 2-1 victory over Gloucester City AFC.
