This National League North match played on September 23, 2023, between Hereford FC and Bishops Stortford FC seemed intensely contested if the data is any indication. Hereford FC clenched a gritty win over Bishops Stortford FC with a slim margin of 1-0 in the first half, with the goal being a pivotal factor in the outcome.

The offensive tactics of Hereford seemed more precise, with a total of 4 shots landing on target out of their 7 attempts. This suggests a noteworthy 57.14% accuracy, compared to Bishops Stortford's 28.57% rate (2 out of 7 shots hitting the mark). The latter was slightly more wasteful in their efforts, with a higher number of shots off target (5).

A vital aspect of Hereford's victory could be attributed to their superior defensive efforts. The home goalkeeper saved all of Stortford's on-target attempts, denying them any chance to find the back of the net. In comparison, Stortford's goalie managed 3 successful saves, conceding one during the first half.

Corner kick stats also furthered Hereford's dominance, accumulating 5 corner kicks due to the persistent forward pressure, whereas Bishops Stortford managed to earn 3. This indicates that Hereford largely dominated territorial play. Although the foul count was high for both teams (Hereford 10, Stortford 12), indicating a physically contested match, neither team seems to have lost their cool, with no record of yellow or red cards on either side of the pitch.

Both teams resorted to substitutions to bring fresh legs onto the field, with Hereford using all 3 substitutions, whereas Stortford made 2. It is possible that these changes added different dynamics to the match but no immediate significant impact based on the final outcome.

Lastly, both teams saw offside calls during the match (Hereford 2, Bishops Stortford 1). Although these incidents did not directly influence the scoreline, they do underline the intensity of the offensive plays attempted.

In summary, Hereford's clinical shooting accuracy, noteworthy goalkeeper performance, and territorial dominance played significant roles in securing their 1-0 victory.
