In the match contested on March 6th, 2023, in the Premier Division, Sligo Rovers secured a home victory over St. Patrick's Athletic with a final score of 2-1. Aerial supremacy and excellent time management defined the game and led to Sligo Rovers emerging triumphant.

The game saw its first goal in the 31st minute of the first half by Sligo Rovers. St. Patrick's Athletic responded promptly in the second half at the 61st-minute mark leveling the scores. However, Sligo Rovers went back into the lead just five minutes later, a lead they maintained till the end of the match.

When analyzing the discipline of both teams, we see that it was a contentious match, with a total of seven yellow cards being shown. Sligo Rovers received three while St. Patrick's Athletic ended with four. The Rovers' discipline took a further hit with a vital red card, putting their team a man down. Despite being outnumbered, Sligo Rovers managed to resist St. Patrick’s attacks through exemplary teamwork and calculated playing strategy.

In terms of set-piece play, St. Patrick's Athletic had six corner kicks as compared to Sligo Rovers' sole corner kick. This clear imbalance could have been an ideal opportunity for St. Patrick's Athletic to capitalise on their chances but they failed to convert these set-piece plays into goals.

The statistic of fouls is evenly balanced. Each team committed only a single foul highlighting a cautious approach from both teams.

The event of the match would have been greatly influenced by the drastic change in team dynamics caused by the red card received by the home team. Sligo Rovers had to adjust their playing style to match the missing player's absence, making the game more challenging for them.

Although Sligo Rovers won, St. Patrick's Athletic's statistics indicate a robust attempt at netting more goals and possibly turning the game's result in their favour. The inability to capitalize on the numerous corner kicks and exploit the red-card advantage played significant roles in their loss.

Hence, despite the cards and lesser corner-kicks, superior tactical adjustments after the red card and timely goal-scoring enabled Sligo Rovers to win the match. Both teams will surely be looking at these statistics to learn and improve in their future games.
