In the 2024 Southern Football League Premier Division match played on January 23 at 19:45 EEST between Stourbridge FC and Alvechurch FC, the battle was intense and quite balanced, but the home team, Stourbridge FC, emerged victorious with the only goal of the match registered in the second half at 01:33:53, making the final score 1-0.

From a statistics perspective, one of the decisive factors influencing this match was the number of corner kicks. Stourbridge FC had four corner kicks, thereby increasing their chances of setting up high-probability shooting opportunities. Only one corner kick was registered for Alvechurch, marking a significant difference. With corner kicks being an excellent opportunity to score, the home team exerting dominance in this area was pivotal to their eventual victory.

The bearing of disciplinary actions on the overall match outcome deserves mention. The number of yellow cards meted out was the same for both teams; they each received two yellow cards, with Alvechurch's happening earlier in the first half while Stourbridge's were both in the second half. Additionally, Alvechurch incurred one red card, reducing their on-pitch manpower and, thus, their overall fighting capacity.

Offsides were another notable statistical factor shared equally by both teams, a sign of aggressive attacking attempts but also potentially wasted opportunities. Both teams had four offsides each, indicating that both sides were continuously attempting forward plays and pushing their offensive line.

All these factors combined greatly impacted the outcome. The red card against Alvechurch may have proven most crucial, taking them down to 10-men and significantly reducing their chances of securing a goal while the sheer volume of corner kicks obtained by Stourbridge played to their advantage, leading to a solid one-goal victory.

In the end, Stourbridge FC's strategy and execution, reflected in their effective use of set pieces and ability to maintain discipline, while under pressure, appear to have paid dividends in this tightly contested match.
