In what proved to be an intense match in the Southern Football League Premier Division between Hayes and Yeading United FC and Basingstoke Town FC, the former emerged victorious with a final scoreline of 3-2.

From a statistical perspective, a considerable factor that contributed to Hayes and Yeading United's win was the number of shots on target. Notably, they managed to achieve 10 successful shots on target compared to Basingstoke’s 8. This performance illustrates Hayes and Yeading's determined attacking effort which eventually led to the home team netting three vital goals.

Looking at the shots off target, Basingstoke struggled slightly with more attempts missing the mark (7 shots off target) in comparison to Hayes and Yeading (5 shots off target). This may have played an influencing role in their final goal tally which saw them trailing behind by one goal.

Equally crucial in this match were the performances from the respective goalkeepers. The away team's goalkeeper made more saves (7 compared to Hayes' 5), a clear demonstration of the pressure disposed by the home team's upfront. However, two saves short, the home team's goalkeeper still managed to secure the win for Hayes and Yeading.

When it comes to set pieces, Hayes and Yeading asserted a slim dominance securing 6 corner kicks, one more than Basingstoke’s 5. Meanwhile, the home side also committed more fouls (15 to Basingstoke's 11), and offsides (3 against Basingstoke's 2), however, these disciplinary inadequacies didn’t appear to adversely affect the final outcome.

Lastly, in terms of assists and substitutions, both parameters seemed to be slightly in favor of Hayes and Yeading, they had 2 assists compared to the solitary assist from Basingstoke and used all three permitted substitutions as opposed to Basingstoke's two. Although these figures alone might not directly reflect the result, they do suggest the home side’s slightly superior command of team play and tactical depth.

In summary, despite conceding two goals and committing a greater number of fouls, Hayes and Yeading's stellar attacking performance catalyzed by their higher number of assists, shots on target, and successful utilization of substitutes helped them secure this narrow victory. As the stats indicate, it was an evenly contested match, but ultimately Hayes and Yeading United FC made the most of their opportunities, leading to their success. The absence of any yellow or red cards for both teams is one commendable point of fair play in this fiercely contested match.
