In the First Division match on 22nd of September, Waterford FC dominated Longford Town with an impressive 3-0 victory. While Longford Town put up a brave fight, Waterford FC's superior teamwork and clinical finishing brought them the win.

Waterford FC managed to convert their superior possession and territorial advantage into goal scoring opportunities, with a total of 7 shots on target, compared to only 2 shots on target by Longford Town. Despite Longford Town’s efforts, who made more fouls (10) as they tried to disrupt Waterford FC's rhythm, Waterford FC was able to maintain their control of the game.

Waterford FC’s accuracy and effectiveness in the attacking half stood out, with only 3 shots off target compared to Longford Town's 5. The Longford Town's goalkeeper made 4 saves against Waterford FC's aggressive offence, whereas Waterford FC's goalkeeper only had to make 2 saves throughout the match. This defensive discrepancy amply demonstrates the pressure Waterford FC’s players placed on their counterparts.

However, it is interesting to note that both teams made an equal number of 3 substitutions, suggesting that the management of both teams were actively searching for tactical adjustments throughout the game. The fact that Waterford FC managed to keep their line disciplined with only 2 offsides versus Longford Town’s 1 offsides further underlines their superior game management.

Despite the absence of red and yellow cards in the match, the data shows that the pressure from Waterford FC was simply too great for Longford Town to handle, as shown by their higher number of fouls. Yet Longford Town's lack of yellow cards suggests that their offences may not have been strategically deployed to suppress Waterford FC's movements.

Overall, the match’s outcome was largely determined by Waterford FC's higher number of shots on target, efficient use of assists, and better control of game flow, which led to their convincing win over Longford Town.
