In a closely fought match in the National League South, Taunton Town FC edged over Chippenham Town with a 2-1 victory. The statistics show distinct advantages that Taunton Town FC capitalised on, particularly in the areas of goal-scoring opportunities and discipline.

Offensively, both teams were close, with Taunton managing to get seven shots on target compared Chippenham's five. Nevertheless, the home team proved to be more ruthless in front of goal, converting nearly 29% of their shots on target, compared to Chippenham's 20% conversion rate. Both teams had to call on their goalkeepers to make saves, with Taunton's goalkeeper making four crucial saves and Chippenham’s making five, underscoring the relatively close nature of the encounter.

Taunton also managed to create better quality chances, with six corner kicks compared to Chippenham's four. This slightly higher level of offensive pressure possibly contributed to their extra goal. However, considering the fact that Taunton Town FC made five shots off target, it indicated that they might need to work on their shooting accuracy to maximize their goal-scoring opportunities.

From a discipline perspective, Taunton Town FC showed superior conduct on the pitch, committing fewer fouls (3 compared to Chippenham’s 8) and received neither red nor yellow cards. Such discipline can have an understated impact on the flow and psychology of the game.

In terms of game management, both teams made the same number of substitutions (3 each), possibly indicating a similar tactical approach to player rotation and freshness from both coaches.

The game also experienced a fair share of offsides from both teams (2 for Taunton and 3 for Chippenham), reflecting the high defensive line and pressure from both sides.

In summary, although the match was closely contested, Taunton’s edge in creating better chances and maintaining discipline played a significant role in their narrow win over Chippenham Town.
