In the National League South match between the Eastbourne Borough FC and Chelmsford City FC held on 17 February 2024, the game ended in favour of the away team, Chelmsford City, with a noticeable margin of 3 to nil. This victory can be mostly attributed to the greater number of shots taken by Chelmsford City, with 7 clear shots on target as compared to Eastbourne Borough who managed only 5 shots on target.

Despite Eastbourne Borough's goalkeeper making 4 commendable saves, Chelmsford City's ruthless attacking strategy proved too much. Chelmsford City displayed excellent shooting accuracy as they only missed their mark once. It's also worthy to note that Chelmsford City was more efficient at their attacking set-pieces, with 6 corner kicks compared to Eastbourne Borough’s 4.

Interestingly, both the teams exhibited discipline, receiving no yellow or red cards during the match. However, Chelmsford had slightly more fouls with 12 against Eastbourne Borough's 10. This implies that Chelmsford City applied a high-pressure defence strategy, leading to them committing more fouls. Additionally, with 3 substitutions, Chelmsford City was potentially better equipped to tackle exhaustion and endure throughout the match compared to Eastbourne Borough, which made only 2 substitutions.

Eastbourne Borough, unfortunately, seemed to struggle with their offensive coordination, as suggested by their two offside infractions compared to Chelmsford's zero. This might signify a lack of synchrony between their forward and midfield players, which could have contributed to their lacklustre goal-scoring performance.

To conclude, Chelmsford City's disciplined approach and better shooting accuracy proved decisive. Eastbourne's inability to capitalise on their opportunities combined with occasional slips in offside coordination hindered their chances of scoring any goals. On balance, a well-deserved victory for Chelmsford City FC.
