In this match between Guiseley AFC and Basford United FC, Guiseley managed to eke out a narrow victory with a scoreline of 2 - 1. It was clearly a tightly contested fixture, enhanced by the abundance of opportunities created by both teams.

A key statistical factor that demonstrates Guiseley’s dominance was the number of shots on target, with the home team registering 8 as compared to Basford United's 5. Additionally, Guiseley showcased competent defensive skills, indicated by the 4 saves made.

Despite Basford United making more significant efforts to shield their goal - as evidenced by the number of saves (6) by their goalkeeper - they were unable to prevent Guiseley from sinking two goals. This might suggest a lack of effectiveness due to their rearguard or the exceptional quality of Guiseley's attacking play.

The performance of both teams held firm with their foul counts almost at par. However, Guiseley won more corner kicks (6) as compared to Basford (3), thereby exhibiting a more aggressive attacking style.

In terms of substitutions, Guiseley replaced J. Smith with B. Jones in the 70th minute, while Basford made an earlier change, substituting P. Saunders for A. Thompson in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, the impact of these changes on the overall game cannot be quantified solely from the data provided.

A noticeable detriment to Guiseley was the loss of Roses due to injury. However, they managed to maintain a steady performance without him on the pitch which is commendable and terms in favour of Guiseley's team depth.

Overall, Guiseley AFC's victory can be attributed to their aggressive attacking gameplay, indicated by their greater number of shots on target and corner kicks, and a commendable defensive performance. Despite Basford United FC's efforts, they were unable to overcome these factors, which had the most significant impact on the outcome of the match.
