The football match in the Southern Football League Premier Division that sees Merthyr Town FC go against Hanwell Town FC on 01 April 2023 ended with the home side securing a commanding victory with a final score of 3-1. Despite a relatively close number of shots on target, 5 for Merthyr and 4 for Hanwell, Merthyr's increased efficiency in front of goal proved critical.

Merthyr Town FC demonstrated superior efficiency, and with 5 successful shots on target and 3 goal-scoring occasions, they had a shooting accuracy of 60%, compared to Hanwell's slightly lowered accuracy rate of 25% (1 goal for 4 shots on target). The ability to convert 60% of shots on target into goals was a significant factor that contributed to Merthyr's victory.

Another critical factor observed in the match was the solid performance by Merthyr's goalkeeper who made crucial saves, ending the game with a total of 3 saves compared to his Hanwell counterpart who made just 2 saves. This performance prevented Hanwell from making a greater impact on the scoreline.

Furthermore, Merthyr's ability to create opportunities was illustrated by their total of 5 corners compared to Hanwell's paltry 2 corners. This represents a better positional play statistically throughout the match which undoubtedly favored Merthyr.

Analyzing the defensive attributes, Hanwell had a slight edge over Merthyr with a total of 7 fouls committed against Merthyr's 8, though neither team needing to resort to underhanded tactics as evidenced by the lack of yellow or red cards issued throughout the match. The teams made ample use of their substitution options to alter their tactics, though Merthyr made an additional substitution, possibly reflecting a tactical superiority on their side.

Despite a statistically close game in most aspects, Merthyr Town FC's above-average conversion rate, strong goalkeeping, and their ability to create more opportunities via corner kicks ultimately provided them the upper hand in this encounter against Hanwell Town FC.
