In the Southern Football League Premier Division match on 26th of March 2024, Mickleover Sports emerged victorious against Coalville Town FC in an enthralling match with a scoreline of 2-1, despite having fewer shots on target.

From a statistical perspective, Coalville Town FC controlled most part of the game with 11 corner kicks compared to the Mickleover Sports' 3, suggesting they had majority of ball possession in the opposing half. However, their conversion into solid opportunities was arguably not clinical enough, as evidenced by their 5 shots on target versus 3 shots off target.

The Coalville Town FC goalkeeper had fewer saves (2 against 4) than his counterpart from Mickleover Sports, highlighting Goldville's persistent offensive threat and suggests why Mickleover managed to score 2 goals despite having only 4 shots on target. Mickleover demonstrated a more effective play in their final third.

In terms of discipline on the pitch, both teams maintained a fairly clean sheet with zero red cards and zero yellow cards. Mickleover Sports, however, committed more fouls (8) than the hometown squad (6). It suggests that they were not afraid to break up the play despite a modest level of aggressiveness. It seems it didn't provide any significant negative impact on their performance.

Coalville Town FC made 3 substitutions while Mickleover Sports made only 2 substitutions, implying the home team expended more energy and needed more fresh legs. However, this did not translate into goals for the Coalville Town FC.

Interestingly, Coalville Town FC had more assists (2) than goals (1), indicating that the final connection was somehow lacking even though the build up play was smooth. Mickleover Sports had 1 assist that resulted in 2 goals, showing a more efficient conversion rate.

In a game with virtually equal percentage of offside (1 for Coalville and 2 for Mickleover), it was Mickleovers' efficiency in front of the goal and superior defensive work that earned them victory against Coalville Town FC. Despite Coalville's extensive creation of opportunities as they dominated corner kicks, their inability to convert these chances into more goals proved decisive. This match demonstrated that shots on-target and goal conversion, alongside effective goalkeeping, were milestones towards gaining the upper hand in a close match-up.
