On the afternoon of February 3, 2024, Stratford Town FC secured a 1-0 home victory over Halesowen Town FC in a hard-fought Southern Football League Premier Division match.

Stratford Town FC took charge in the game, with 8 shots on target compared to Halesowen’s 5. Halesowen, on the other hand, seemed reckless, with 7 shots veering off target, compared to Stratford's 6. While both goalkeepers were kept busy, Stratford's seemed to have had a busier day with 5 saves compared to his counterpart’s 7.

In the area of set pieces, Stratford managed 3 corner kicks, slightly edging Halesowen's 2. Stratford also led in the area of offsides, heading offside 2 times as opposed to Halesowen’s single offence. These subtleties in offence may seem minor, but they collectively represent a team that is aggressively chasing a win.

The level of discipline in the match was commendable, with no yellow or red cards issued to either team. There were 24 fouls in total, with Stratford committing 14 and Halesowen 10. Despite the slightly higher foul count on the Stratford side, their aggressive gameplay may have contributed to the eventual win.

Substitutions can have a significant strategic impact on the game, and in this instance, Stratford made the full quota of 3 substitutions, while Halesowen made only 2 replacements. This strategic movement allowed Stratford to maintain the stamina and dynamic of their team, which could have been instrumental in their winning goal in the second half.

While the final score was a slim 1-0, the underlying stats show a commendable level of teamwork and execution from Stratford Town FC. Despite a valiant effort from Halesowen Town FC, Stratford seemed to have more control over the flow of the game, creating more opportunities at goal and adopting smarter strategic moves.
