The National League North match between Chester FC and Farsley Celtic on 15th April 2023 saw a commendable battle on the pitch, ending in a 2-2 draw.

Arguably, Farsley Celtic was the more aggressive team overall with 7 shots on target compared to Chester FC’s 3. Despite outnumbering the home team in shots on target, Farsley Celtic could only achieve parity by scoring 2 goals, which doesn't bode well for their attacking precision. Their efficiency in the final third was not as strong as one might expect from a team that was consistently threatening the opponent's defence.

However, Chester FC's goalkeeper had a significant contribution in the 2-2 draw outcome, with 5 successful saves compared to Farsley Celtic’s goalkeeper's single save. This is a clear indicator of Chester FC's defensive strength. On the flip side, the higher number of shots that Chester FC allowed on their goal reflects some vulnerabilities in their defence line that Farsley Celtic managed to exploit.

On the contrary, Chester FC despite getting fewer shots on target scored the same number of goals, showing a more clinical finish. They also had higher possession with 55%, implying better control over the match tempo and dictating the style of play against Farsley Celtic's 45%.

Farsley Celtic had more corner kicks than Chester FC, which usually implies a more aggressive style of play, but it didn't translate into goals for them due to Chester's FC defensive resilience.

There were very few disciplinary issues in this game with neither side getting any red or yellow cards, which reflects a clean and respectful style of play by both teams.

Chester FC made 2 substitutions, but Farsley Celtic stuck with their original eleven till the end. This may denote Chester FC’s desire to revitalise the game strategy while Farsley Celtic's coaching team might have shown confidence in their initial team selection.

Both teams were caught offside a few times; Chester FC once, and Farsley Celtic twice, reflecting a high defensive line by both teams.

Overall, the match was closely fought, and the result reflected the team's matches' performances. Chester FC was more efficient in converting their attempts into goals while Farsley Celtic dominated more in terms of attacking indicators but was not able to fully capitalize on the opportunities they created. Chester FC's goalkeeper also played a crucial role in keeping the scoreline even by making high-quality saves under pressure.
