The competitive game between Chester FC and Rushall Olympic in the National League North ended with a 1-0 victory in favor of the away team, Rushall Olympic. Despite Chester FC's effort and dominance in certain statistical areas, it was Rushall Olympic who found the back of the net in the first half to grab the vital three points.

Arguably, the most significant statistic was the number of shots taken by both teams. With Chester FC taking 15 shots (5 on target and 10 off target) compared to Rushall Olympic's five shots (2 on target and 3 off target). However, despite the home side's dominance in creating shooting opportunities, they were continually thwarted by Rushall's goalkeeper who had five saves during the game, superior to Chester's keeper who performed only one save.

Rushall Olympic's defense deserves commendation for soaking up the pressure and capitalising on their few attacking chances, indicating precise finishing. The scarcity of yellow and red cards also shows a disciplined game from both teams.

In terms of set pieces, Chester FC also showed dominance with eight corner kicks versus Rushall Olympic's four. However, the home team unable to convert these opportunities into goals further validates Rushall Olympic's steadfast defensive technique.

With regard to discipline, despite no record of any yellow or red cards, the game was pretty feisty with Chester FC amassing 15 fouls and Rushall Olympic gathering a slightly lower 10 fouls.

Substitution strategy was evenly matched with both teams utilising all their three changes. Offensive play was also evenly distributed with Chester FC caught offside twice compared to Rushall Olympic’s solitary offside event.

Overall, even though Chester FC seemed to control the match in terms of creating opportunities, Rushall Olympic was more effective in guarding their net and making their little chances count. A solid defensive display coupled with clinical finishing led to Rushall's victory.

Game data points towards a dominant Chester FC performance, but it is Rushall Olympic who will be commended for demonstrating the importance of efficiency in front of goal, which was indeed decisive for the outcome of this match.
