Report:

In a thrilling National League South encounter on October 21, 2023, St. Albans City FC overcame hosts Chippenham Town with a 2-1 victory. From the analysis of the match, it's evident that St. Albans City FC's superior shot efficiency played a significant role in the outcome.

While Chippenham Town had 5 shots off target as opposed to St. Albans City FC's 2, the away team delivered a greater number of shots on target (4), twice the number produced by the home team (2). This high efficiency in finding the target enabled St. Albans City FC to convert more of their opportunities into goals, eventually leading to their victory.

On the defensive front, both teams were quite robust with a fairly close number of goalkeeper saves; Chippenham Town's goalie had two saves to his name while St. Albans City FC had one. However, the superior number of successful defensive interventions by the away team was sufficient to keep Chippenham Town at bay thus preserving their lead.

The timing of the teams’ first substitutions also highlighted contrasting strategic deployment, with St. Albans City FC making their first substitution at the 58th minute, two minutes earlier than Chippenham Town. This early change perhaps contributed to the strategic shift contributing to the second goal for the away team.

The discipline of the teams was also a notable factor in the match. Chippenham Town held a clean sheet in terms of cards, while St. Albans City FC garnered a single yellow card. Despite the singular booking, St. Albans City FC managed to maintain a narrow difference in fouls committed, registering 10 to Chippenham's 12 showing a competitive but relatively clean match.

In terms of set pieces, despite Chippenham Town having a decent number of corner kicks (3), St. Albans City FC outperformed with 5 corners. These, combined with their accurate shots on goal, undoubtedly gave St. Albans City FC an attacking edge.

In conclusion, while Chippenham Town held firm in various facets of the match, it was the better shot efficiency and overall sharper performance of St. Albans City FC that ultimately swung the outcome in their favor.
