In the National League South match played on 17th February 2024, Yeovil Town FC secured victory against Havant and Waterlooville with a 1-0 home win.

The solitary goal scored by Yeovil Town FC was reflective of their more aggressive attacking approach. They outperformed Havant and Waterlooville in terms of shots on target, with 4 against the latter's 2, and a more significant total of 9 shots with 5 being off target compared to Havant's 5 shots with 3 off-target. This indicates solid offensive efforts from Yeovil Town FC and could point to why they managed to score, no doubt aided by the single assist provided.

Yeovil Town FC also showed assertiveness in gaining possession across the field, with a healthy dose of 6 corner kicks compared to Havant's 4. Dead ball situations such as these often present scoring opportunities, and it's likely that these set-pieces played a part in applying consistent pressure on Havant's defence.

Looking at defensive stats, both teams put on a reliable display with no yellow or red cards handed out, suggesting tactical discipline and precise tackle timing from both sides. However, Havant conceded more fouls with a total of 5, against Yeovil's 3, suggesting they were on the back foot more frequently during the game. The pressure is further demonstrated by Havant's extra substitution, hinting at tactical corrections or perhaps addressing fitness issues.

The Yeovil goalkeeper contributed with two crucial saves, ensuring a clean sheet for the team, while the Havant goalkeeper was busier with 3 saves recorded, again implying Yeovil's more potent attacking threat.

In the case of offsides, Yeovil had 2 instances, while Havant was caught offside once. This could suggest better spatial awareness from Havant's defence or potentially more ambitious forward play from Yeovil Town.

In terms of overall teamwork and performance, Yeovil Town FC marked its superiority with distinct offensive strategies, efficient use of set-pieces and a disciplined defence, which cumulatively ensured their victory over Havant and Waterlooville. This match indicates the importance of maintaining an attacking initiative, even at the risk of slightly higher offsides, paired with a compact and focused defence to maximize results.
