In analyzing the Central League football match between the home team, Petone FC, and the away team, Whanganui Athletic, on June 10, 2023, certain statistical factors stood out as crucial to the outcome of the match.

Petone FC emerged winners, with a scoreline of 2-0. The controlling factor in their victory was the superior shot on target ratio. Petone FC had seven shots on target, compared to Whanganui Athletic's non-existence presence on target. This indicates better attacking efficiency and precision from Petone FC. Given that all two goals of the match were scored by Petone FC in the second half, also suggests they were better at capitalizing on opportunities.

Interestingly, Whanganui Athletic had their goalkeeper make five saves compared to Petone's two, indicating a high degree of defensive effort. However, the inability of Whanganui Athletic to convert attempts into goals is evident from the five shots delivered off target, a contributing factor to the loss. Petone FC, was less wasteful, missing the target only 3 times.

While Petone FC committed more fouls at fifteen, it did not reflect in the number of yellow cards or red cards received, indicating their fouls were less severe or committed in less strategic areas. They also made 3 substitutions, maintaining fresh legs on the pitch compared to Whanganui Athletic opting for only 1 substitution, potentially reflecting the broader depth in the roster of Petone FC.

Petone FC's dominance is further seen in the number of corner kicks earned, six compared to Whanganui Athletic's two. This higher number not only signals more attacking pressure but also more chances for goal scoring opportunities. Moreover, the single offsides incident from Petone FC suggests a well-aligned and disciplined forward line.

In conclusion, Petone FC's win was a result of their attacking precision, disciplined forward play, and depth in the squad. On the contrary, Whanganui Athletic's inability to create an effective attacking presence, a higher number of goalkeeper saves, and lesser substitutions were influential in their defeat.
