The 08 September 2023 Challenge Cup clash between Hibernian Edinburgh FC B and The New Saints FC was a display of football that left the home side disappointed with the three-nil scoreline.

The New Saints FC's determined offense was reflected in their three goals, two coming in first half, at 00:16:17 and 00:36:14 respectively and a further goal in the second half at 00:53:35. This drive for goals was complemented by an edge in corner kicks with The New Saints securing 6 in comparison to Hibernian's 4. The desire to attack did come with some limits, however, as they ended up being given two offsides. Nevertheless, despite this, it's clear that The New Saints FC's aggressive attack and early dominance in the game were pivotal factors in the final result.

Contrasting in the other half, Hibernian Edinburgh FC B failed to convert opportunity into goals, scoring none, and their lack of goals can be attributed to their less offensive game play. Concentration of ball play in the midfield could be deduced from the absence of offsides.

The competitive nature of the match was highlighted by the number of yellow cards issued, three for Hibernian and two for The New Saints, with a higher incidence coming from the second half. It seems that as the match progressed, and Hibernian FC B fell further behind, the level of frustration rose, resulting in a more physical game and potentially disrupting their rhythm and focus. Conversely, The New Saint FC's tackle game did not seem to affect their scoring ability nor their teamwork performance negatively.

Immense performance saved from both side's keepers that lead to no red card situations; the discipline was maintained to ensure full squads till the final whistle adding decorum to an intensely competitive match.

In summary, The New Saints FC's efficient attack and Hibernian Edinburgh FC B's lack of goals dominantly impacted the result. The New Saints FC's strategy of a strong offence paid off, providing them a comfortable victory. As Hibernian Edinburgh FC B regroup for their next game, they could indeed reflect on their offensive game plan's effectiveness and look to produce a more attacking style of play.
