In a National League South competition held on 27 February 2024, we saw Hampton and Richmond Borough confidently claim a 2-0 victory against Havant and Waterlooville. The match demonstrated a significant set of statistics and data that significantly impacted the outcome of the game.

The home team displayed an impressive efficiency in their attack as they netted both of their goals from limited corner kicks opportunities. With only two corner kicks throughout the match, Hampton converted half of these opportunities into goals. In comparison, despite having three times the number of corner kicks, Havant struggled to capitalize on these opportunities, achieving no successful conversions.

The first goal by Hampton was scored within the initial 30 minutes of the game, providing an early advantage that potentially put their opponents on the defensive. The second goal further reinforced their lead, timed perfectly just under the hour mark, likely demoralizing their opponents and boosting their own confidence.

On the other hand, a telling statistic lies in the offsides committed. The home team was penalized for offsides four times, compared to zero offsides for the away team. This could suggest that Hampton was more aggressive in trying to break down the defensive setup of Havant but also indicating an issue with timing their runs. Thus, although it didn't hamper them in this game, it could become a problematic factor against more organized defenses in the future.

The away team's discipline could also be questioned as they picked up two yellow cards during the match, one of them occurring in the closing stages, perhaps out of frustration. Interestingly, the home team also picked up a yellow card just before their second goal, potentially linked to intercepting a counter-attack or foul-play to break up the opposition's rhythm. There were, however, no red cards observed throughout the match, indicating a relatively clean game.

Despite Havant's lack of goals, the only missing data is about shots on target. If they had a significant number, it might imply a solid performance by the home team's goalkeeper or a weakness in the away team's finishing.

Overall, Hampton and Richmond Borough showed greater efficiency in capitalizing on set-piece opportunities and maintained their discipline better than Havant and Waterlooville. Should they sustain this efficiency and improve on timing their offensive runs better, they may posses a threat to more robust teams. Havant, on the other hand, will need to improve on both their discipline and efficiency from set-pieces, if they are to convert possession and opportunities into crucial goals in the coming matches.
