Coverage:

In a display of dominance and control, Worksop Town FC bested Workington AFC 2-1 in the Northern Premier Division match on April 6th, 2024.

From a statistical standpoint, possession was well in favor of Worksop with a solid 63%, to 37% held by Workington. This superior ball control led to a higher number of shots on goal by Worksop (8) compared to Workington (4). The lack of possession in this match put Workington on back foot defensively, evident in their 6 successful goalkeeper saves compared to 3 by Worksop.

However, the difference in possession didn't accord an equivalent goal margin. A vital factor in this consequence can be underpinned to Worksop’s 5 shots off target, which limited their potential score despite higher possession and consequent shots on goal.

Fascinatingly, both teams displayed disciplined behaviours during the match, with neither team receiving a yellow or red card. Still, Worksop tallied a higher number of fouls (12), as they worked tirelessly to maintain ball control and keep Workington’s attacks at bays.

Workington seemingly struggled to create goal scoring opportunities, as seen in their solitary corner kick, compared to Worksop’s 4. Even with higher offsides (3), they faced challenges in converting such positions into successful goal shots, as mirrored in their just 4 on target shots.

Finally, regarding strategies and adaptabilities, Worksop was tactically more flexible, making 3 substitutions versus 2 made by Workington. It’s likely that these timely injections of fresh legs and tactical changes played a role in Worksop capping off the day with a win.

This game was a solid presentation of Worksop’s ability to control the pace and direction of the match, a fact that Workington will clearly need to address in upcoming encounters.
