In a tightly contested match, Tonbridge Angels FC managed to edge out Hampton and Richmond Borough with a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to a pivotal goal early in the second half. From a tactical perspective, Tonbridge's ability to be clinical with their opportunities while maintaining a rigid defensive setup was critical to their success. Despite conceding more corner kicks to the home team (5 compared to 3), Tonbridge managed to defend these set-pieces effectively.

Hampton and Richmond had more offsides, five compared to Tonbridge's two, illustrating potential issues with timing and coordination in their attacking play. This higher number of offsides also suggests that Tonbridge executed an effective offside trap, frequently catching the home team out of position.

Tonbridge Angels were more disciplined in their play, which ironically yielded three yellow cards within a short 4-minute spell in the second half, indicating a possibly aggressive approach to maintain their lead. Conversely, Hampton and Richmond managed to keep a cleaner disciplinary record with no yellow or red cards, reflecting a more controlled style of play.

The decisive factor, however, was Tonbridge's goal scored just over an hour into the game. Their ability to capitalize on limited goal-scoring opportunities, as opposed to Hampton and Richmond's inability to convert their attacking play into goals despite having more corner kicks, ultimately decided the match. This victory for Tonbridge Angels underscores the importance of efficiency in front of goal and disciplined defensive teamwork.
