In the NIFL Premiership match that took place on 18 September 2023, Cliftonville showed dominance over Crusaders FC with a convincing 3-0 win. The statistics reveal a game where Cliftonville clearly made their scoring opportunities count, and one where Crusaders FC struggled to keep pace.

On the scoring front, Cliftonville netted their chances efficiently. The away team opened their account a mere 17 minutes into the game, adding a second goal just before half-time at 42 minutes. They secured their victory early in the second half with a third goal recorded at 54 minutes, indicating a sharp and consistent offense. Crusaders FC failed to respond on the scoreboard, finishing the game goalless.

Discipline seemed to be an area both teams struggled with, each receiving three yellow cards. Two of Crusaders FC's cards were issued in the first half, potential factors in the team's inability to prevent Cliftonville's two early goals. The timing of the final batch of yellow cards, one for the home side and two for Cliftonville, hint at increased frustration or competitive intensity as the second half wore on. However, despite multiple warnings, both teams managed to avoid any red cards.

In terms of set-plays, the data shows parity on the corner kick front, with both teams earning five apiece. This usually indicates relatively equal possession and territorial advantage, though clearly Cliftonville capitalized on their opportunities more proficiently.

However, the teams varied in their control of the offside trap. Cliftonville were flagged offside five times, possibly indicating a riskier attacking strategy, while Crusaders FC only had one offside decision against them. This could suggest a more cautious forward play from the home team, but without more attacking stats, this remains speculative.

In conclusion, while the game saw a balance in some statistical aspects—such as corner kicks and disciplinarian actions—the decisive factor was undoubtedly Cliftonville's potent attack. Their aggressive and effective capitalization on their goal-scoring chances led to a formidable 3-0 victory. Meanwhile, Crusaders FC will need to analyse their defensive lapses and inability to score to bounce back in their next game.
