The Premier Division clash between Waterford FC and Shelbourne FC on February 16, 2024, proved to be a closely contested match that saw the home side clinch victory. The analysis of statistical data reveals that the deciding factors in the match outcome were the teams' shooting accuracy and the performance of each side's goalkeeper.
Waterford FC, the home team, presented a more aggressive offensive strategy compared to the visitors, with a total of 12 shots, 7 of which were on target. This indicates a shooting accuracy of 58%, compared to Shelbourne FC who had a lower accuracy, with only 4 of their total 6 shots landing on target (67%). Despite a higher percentage from the away team, the volume of complete shots from the home side helped them achieve a win.
Goalkeeping was another significant factor, with Waterford FC's goalkeeper's three saves pivotal to the match outcome. In contrast, despite Shelbourne FC's goalkeeper making a higher number of saves (5), it wasn't sufficient to guard their net from Waterford's superior attacking presence.
The home side was also tactically on point, utilizing their corner kick opportunities well with 4 corners taken throughout the match compared to Shelbourne FC's 3. This underpins Waterford's aggression and forward pressure in their playstyle leading to more goal-scoring opportunities.
In terms of discipline, both teams showed excellent control with no yellow or red cards awarded. This not only signifies good discipline but also a controlled aggression from both sides that didn't result in adverse consequences.
Substitution strategy showed similarity, with both teams using all allocated three subs that weren't significant in terms of match outcome.
When it comes to fouls, Waterford FC committed slightly more fouls (12) than Shelbourne FC (10), showing that the home side was more aggressive in stopping opposing attacks which might have contributed to their win. The offsides data, one for the home team and two for the visitors, both were low and did not significantly impact the game.
In conclusion, despite a hard-fought contest from Shelbourne FC, the aggressive and efficient game play from Waterford FC proved decisive, aided by a commanding performance from their goalkeeper. Their assertive strategy, leading to increased shot opportunities and strong defensive performances, earned them the victory on the day.
