In the NIFL Championship 1 match that took place on August 18, 2023, Dundela FC emerged as the victorious side against Bangor FC. The away team scored two goals compared to the home team's single goal, cementing Dundela FC's dominance in the game.

In terms of offensive strategies, Bangor FC demonstrated a more aggressive approach, with seven shots attempted along with three efforts on target. Conversely, Dundela FC capitalised on their accuracy, converting half of their shots on target into goals, demonstrating the efficacy of their offensive coordination.

The assist statistics imply that Bangor FC attempted more goal creation with 2 assists, but they struggled to convert them into scoring opportunities. On the other hand, although Dundela FC only recorded one assist, they managed to turn it into a goal, indicating efficient utilisation of opportunities.

The defensive strategies of both teams were nearly similar. With both teams' goalkeepers recording two saves, it was evident that the defensive lines managed the opposition's attacks well. That said, Dundela FC were slightly more effective in warding off Bangor FC's attempts, as evidenced by their lower shots off target ratio.

Bangor FC’s reliance on corner kicks was slightly higher than their visitors', revealing their preferred strategy of trying to infiltrate Dundela FC's defence through the flanks. However, this strategy did not yield the desired results, as evidenced by their lower scoreline. The offsides statistics reinforced this aggressive strategy, with Bangor FC being caught offside twice, compared to just once for Dundela FC.

In terms of fouls, Dundela FC committed one more foul than Bangor FC, indicating more disruptive play - but it didn’t result in any yellow or red cards for either team. Finally, both teams utilised their squads optimally with three substitutions each.

Overall, even though Bangor FC were more aggressive and attempted more offensive strategies, Dundela FC managed to defend better and make the most of their scoring opportunities, leading them to victory. The primary driving factor for the result was Dundela FC's accuracy in shots and efficient utilisation of the opportunities, which Bangor FC couldn't match on the day.
