In the crucial NIFL Premiership match held on 15th April 2023, Linfield FC was able to steal a victory against Coleraine FC with a tight score of 0-1. The only goal was conceded by Coleraine FC in the second half, marking the decisive difference that would eventually sway the match in the favour of Linfield FC.

In general, Linfield FC demonstrated superior performance in terms of both attacking and defensive metrics. They produced an impressive tally of eight shots on target compared to Coleraine FC's four, doubled by the fact their goalie saved seven of Coleraine FC's attacks on goal, whilst Coleraine managed to save only four of Linfield's attempts.

While Coleraine FC attempted more shots, with a total of 10 compared to Linfield FC's 11, their precision rate was significantly lower. They saw six shots landing off target, compromising a significant chunk of their attempt to equalise in the clash.

Although the foul count was nearly matched, with Linfield FC counting one more at 8 and Coleraine FC at 7, the game was generally played in a disciplined manner without any player being handed a yellow or red card.

The match saw both teams actively exploiting the flanks, attested by the corner kick counts for both sides - four for Coleraine FC and five for Linfield FC. However, Linfield FC dealt more efficiently with these situations, limiting Coleraine FC to capitalize on them.

In terms of game strategy, Linfield FC seemed to have more tactical depth as they had fewer offsides than Coleraine FC, i.e., 2 versus 3, inferring Coleraine might have been attempting to play a high risk, high reward strategy with a higher defensive line, but this left spaces at the back which Linfield exploited for their decisive goal.

The match was intensely contested, but the critical factors that marked the outcome were Linfield FC's efficiency in front of goal, their strong defensive positioning and better execution of set-pieces. Despite the slim margin, Linfield FC was the team that displayed better teamwork and precision, ultimately carrying them to victory on the day.
