This Southern Football League Premier Division match between Leiston FC and Stratford Town FC ended in a 1-1 draw. However, the numbers present a different story that underlines Leiston's dominant performance that did not translate into an outright victory.

Looking into the shooting statistics, Leiston FC had 14 shots in total, with 9 of them being on target. Stratford Town FC, in contrast, had a total of 7 shots, with only 3 finding the target. This domination by Leiston FC is underpinned by the significant gap in the number of shots, which reflects their attacking prowess and control over the game.

Despite the superior number of shots on target by Leiston FC, their single goal indicates a lesser conversion rate. This is where the standout performance of Stratford's goalkeeper comes into play, with a remarkable 8 saves ensuring their side didn't succumb to Leiston's relentless onslaught. In contrast, the Leiston goalkeeper only managed 2 saves, which correlates with the fewer shots on target by Stratford.

Regarding the set pieces, Leiston FC came out on top again with twice the number of corner kicks as Stratford (4 as compared to 2). Leiston FC players, however, were caught offside twice, in comparison to Stratford's single offside occurrence.

However, Leiston FC's aggression did induce more fouls. The data shows that they committed 12 fouls against Stratford's 9. Still, neither team encountered disciplinary issues in the form of yellow or red cards.

Leiston FC also utilized all three substitutions, while Stratford made use of only two, perhaps a tactic employed by the coaches to inject fresh legs and alter the dynamics of the match.

Despite the draw, the determined effort from Leiston FC backed by statistical data presents a picture of a team that dominated the majority aspects of the game. This encounter, however, underscores football's unpredictability where the outcome can sometimes belie the possession, opportunities, and on-pitch performance.

This resulted in a truly intriguing match-up, where both teams, despite their different performances, ended up sharing the spoils. In the end, the day was perhaps won by sharp goalkeeping and strategic tactics rather than the sheer dominance projected by the numbers.
