Based on the detailed statistical data available, the Northern Premier Division match between Macclesfield Town and Atherton Collieries AFC on 21 November 2023, read a lot into the comparative strengths of the two teams.

Macclesfield Town demonstrated superior efficiency in the final third, netting 3 goals from 6 on-target attempts compared to Atherton Collieries' single goal from a larger pool of 8 on-target attempts. With 2 assists, Macclesfield's offensive output was not only more potent but exhibited stronger teamwork contrasting Atherton's lone assist.

The home side's goalkeeper was also a significant factor in the match, making a total of 7 saves; more than twice the number made by his counterpart from Atherton Collieries. This, in conjunction with Atherton's higher number of shots on target, suggests that Macclesfield's strong defensive performance, particularly from the goalkeeper, played a crucial role in securing their victory.

Macclesfield's discipline was noteworthy too, with zero yellow or red cards compared to Atherton's similarly clean record. This lack of card offences suggests a well-conducted, fair match from both sides.

Possession stats were not provided, but it's reasonable to infer from the higher number of corner kicks (4 vs 2) and the higher number of shots, both on and off target, that Macclesfield may have commanded the majority of possession. Their 8 fouls to Atherton's 7 showed a competitive but controlled approach to the game

In summary, Macclesfield's efficiency in front of the goal coupled with an outstanding performance from their goalkeeper, and their edge in match possession with superior corner kicks stats, were key determinants for their definitive victory against the Atherton Colleries.
