This NIFL Premiership game, played between Dungannon Swifts and Newry City AFC on 18th November 2023 at 15:00 EETS, showed a power-packed performance that eventually led to Dungannon's glory. The final scoreline finished in favor of the home team, with Dungannon Swifts topping Newry City AFC with 4 goals to 1.

A staggering beginning set the tone of the match. Dungannon took an early lead, scoring their first goal just a little over 5 minutes into the game. This was followed by a compelling first half, where Dungannon managed to triple their tally, netting two additional goals roughly at 27 and 35 minutes into the match. With Newry City managing to claw back a goal just before halftime, the first half came to an end with a score of 3 -1.

However, the second half did not present any major comeback from Newry City AFC, as their offense couldn't make a significant impact. It was Dungannon who scored the only goal of the second half, taking their tally to 4.

Statistically, the game was a fairly equal one in terms of opportunities created and discipline on the field. Both, Dungannon Swifts and Newry City AFC, were consistent in making offensive plays and keeping pressure on the opponents. With Dungannon Swifts at 4 corner kicks and Newry City having 3 corner kicks, the game saw a firecracker of offensive plays. However, the offside count was slightly higher for Newry City with 3 offsides, perhaps indicating eagerness to level the scoreline resulting in rushed plays, compared to just one offside by the disciplined Dungannon Swifts.

Both teams, despite maintaining a healthy fight, couldn't refrain from making fouls now and then. Newry City received 3 yellow cards over the course of the match, slightly more than the 2 yellow cards Dungannon players had to their names. Luckily, no player was sent off, and all stayed on the ground till the final whistle.

From a performance perspective, Dungannon Swifts showcased a dominant offensive strategy that rattled the defence line of Newry City AFC. Their three goals in the first half were significant in unnerving the away team's squad. Despite the subtle rise in aggression from Newry City AFC in the second half, as pointed out by their increased yellow cards and offsides, Dungannon remained unyielding defensively and kept exploiting the gaps in the opponent's defence and added one more to their scoreline.

In conclusion, while both teams showed signs of aggressive play and offensive maneuvers, it was Dungannon Swifts’ superior goal-scoring ability on the day that saw them cruise to a victory. Their consistency in maintaining the right balance between attacking plays and grounded defence was significantly influential in their win.
