The football match on June 9th, 2023 between Waterford FC and Bray Wanderers took place in the First Division at 18:45 EEST. With a clear 3-1 victory, Waterford FC emerged as the better squad in terms of goals scored and overall discipline maintained throughout the match.

Goals are generally the most significant aspect of any football match, and in this game, Waterford FC had an excellent show. They managed to score their first goal just after a minute into the match. This early goal must have given them the momentum and psychological edge early on. Bray Wanderers managed to equalize around the 38-minute mark, but Waterford FC showed resiliency by taking the lead early in the second half and adding a third goal twenty minutes later to stabilize their lead and leave little room for Bray Wanderers to make a comeback.

Interestingly, Waterford FC maintained strong discipline throughout the match as they did not receive any yellow cards, as opposed to Bray Wanderers, which received two yellow cards – one in each half of the match. The disciplinary issues for the away team could indicate difficulty in maintaining their defensive line, leading to fouls and subsequently leading to Waterford FC taking advantage of these additional opportunities.

As far as the tactical approach is concerned, both teams had almost even control over the corners, the home team getting a slight edge with 4 corner kicks compared to the away team's 3. This demonstrates the tactical battle between the two sides, with Waterford FC being a bit sharper in generating valuable set-piece opportunities.

Leveraging these factors, Waterford FC demonstrated more purposeful team performance compared to Bray Wanderers. Their strikers/modfielders were on point leading to the goals while their defence managed to keep things tight ensuring minimal disciplinary glitches. Meanwhile, Bray Wanderers, despite their efforts, couldn't manage to overcome the pressure applied by the home team and thus fell short on the goal front, and team discipline.

To summarize, the determining factors in this match outcome can be traced back to Waterford FC's early goal, their stronger defensive discipline, and the ability to capitalize on their higher number of corner kicks.
