In the Premier League 2 competition held on February 17, 2024, it was a game of contrasting styles as the home team, Newcastle United U21, faced off against Liverpool U21. Newcastle United U21 managed to edge Liverpool U21 by a narrow margin of 2-1 by displaying a dominant performance on the field.

From a statistical perspective, Newcastle U21 showcased greater efficacy in their attacking, registering a high number of seven shots on target compared to Liverpool’s three. This demonstration could be a significant factor that pointed out the eventual outcome of the game despite Liverpool U21’s goalkeeper making 5 saves compared to the Newcastle U21's goalkeeper's 2.

The home team took a more aggressive approach, taking higher number of shots both on and off target, 7 and 5 respectively compared to Liverpool's 3 and 2. This direct and assertive play resulted in creating scoring opportunities for Newcastle.

When it comes to fouls, Newcastle U21 registered a higher count registering 16 fouls compared to Liverpool U21's 12. Although this could have led to potential free-kick situations for Liverpool, it appears this was not enough to alter the game’s outcome with Newcastle's solid defence.

Newcastle also managed to win more corner-kicks (4) than Liverpool (2), providing them with extra chances to crack Liverpool's defense. Furthermore, Newcastle showed better control over the game, going offside only once versus Liverpool's three instances.

Substitution strategy played a vital role in the game. Newcastle utilized three substitutions, making tactical changes that held their lead. On the other hand, Liverpool made one more substitution than Newcastle. However, it was perhaps Newcastle's resource management that paid off better.

To conclude, the game's major influencing factors were Newcastle's aggressive approach to shooting and strategic utilization of substitutions, which allowed them to maintain their upper hand over Liverpool. Despite Liverpool's commendable efforts reflected in their goalkeeper saves and fewer fouls, it wasn't enough to turn the tide in their favor.
