In a tightly-contested Southern Football League Premier Division match on 14th January 2023, Yate Town FC managed to edge out Gosport Borough FC with a solitary goal in the second half.

Gosport Borough FC shot 14 times with only 5 shots finding the target. That's a 36% accuracy rate compared to Yate Town FC's 66% accuracy – a potentially decisive factor that could have influenced the match's outcome.

Yate Town FC, conversely, utilized fewer corner opportunities, again drawing attention to their greater efficiency in front of the goal.

Lastly, offsides count was marginally higher for Gosport Borough FC (3) compared to Yate Town FC (2), underlining perhaps a slight impatience in the home side's attacking approach.

Overall, Yate Town FC demonstrated a higher degree of effectiveness in the critical moments, scoring off fewer shots and showing a better conversion rate. Despite Gosport Borough FC's higher ball possession that produced more shots and corner kicks, their inability to translate these into goals was what cost them the match.
