The match between HW Welders FC and Institute FC that took place on the 23rd of March 2024, in the Northern Ireland Championship 1, ended with a 1-0 victory for the away team, Institute FC. The vital statistic that determined the outcome of the match was the solitary goal scored in the first half at the 24th minute by Institute FC, which turned out to be the winning goal.

In terms of disciplinary actions meted out by the referee, HW Welders FC received the only yellow card of the match in the first half at the 48th minute. This single booking did not result in a turning point for the game as it occurred towards the end of the first half, and there were no subsequent red cards for either side indicating a game with low foul intensity.

Moreover, a significant statistic that stood out was the number of corner kicks that HW Welders FC had during the match. The home team had an impressive total of 16 corner kicks compared to the 4 corners that were conceded to Institute FC. Despite the high number of corners, HW Welders were unable to convert this advantage into goals, reflecting the strong defensive performance by Institute FC, and perhaps some lack of precision in the offensive field by HW Welders FC.

On the other side, Institute FC managed to fend off a home team that had a significant numerical advantage in terms of corners, withstanding the pressure and maintaining their marginal advantage to clinch the win. This single-goal win showcases their defensive ability and discipline under pressure.

In conclusion, Institute FC showed crucial efficiency in front of goal - converting one of their few chances (with their number of corners as a proxy) into a goal, while maintaining disciplined defensive lines when dealing with HW Welders FC's 16 corners. HW Welders FC, despite their apparent control and dominance as evidenced by their substantial number of corners, weren't able to beat the opponent's defences and failed to clinically finish their attacks. Their inability to convert the set-piece advantage they had versus the quality opposition was a decisive factor in this match as they were kept at bay by Institute FC's defense.
