Based on the available statistics, the strongly contested match from the Southern Football League Premier Division, held on the 4th of March 2023, concluded with a tight victory by the home team Basford United FC against St. Ives Town FC with a scoreline of 1-0.

While Basford United FC's only goal came in the second half, the key performance indicators (KPIs) provide a comprehensive understanding of a match that was characterized by a seemingly high level of defensive strategies from both sides, given the sustainably low numbers of shots on target – 6 for Basford United FC and 4 for St. Ives Town FC. However, St. Ives Town FC's offensive game appeared to suffer from being more uncalculated, their precision was reflected in their bigger number of shots off target (6) compared to their counterparts (3).

Despite conceding a goal, St. Ives Town FC's keeper made 5 saves against 4 by Basford United FC's goalkeeper which suggests a solid performance by both.

In conclusion, while both teams had fair shares of possession and opportunities, it was Basford United FC's ability to convert their shots on target into a goal and their more disciplined defense that proved decisive in this match. In the future, St. Ives Town FC would need to work on their shooting precision to increase their chances of scoring.
