During the League Two fixture between Stranraer FC and Forfar Athletic FC on 23rd September 2023, Forfar Athletic managed to secure a definitive 2-0 victory away from home. The home team, Stranraer FC, while showing promising efforts, could not find the back of the net.

Although possession between the two teams was roughly split, Stranraer leading with 52% possession and Forfar just behind with 48%, Forfar managed to seize the opportunities and convert them into goals. Forfar's accuracy in shots was also evident, having 11 shots on goal, out of a total of 15 attempts, compared to Stranraer's 8 shots on goal from a total of 13. This degree of precision played a crucial role in Forfar's victory.

Stranraer did have an edge when it came to corner opportunities, having 9 compared to Forfar's 7, however, they were ultimately unable to capitalize on these opportunities. The home team goalkeeper made an impressive 9 saves, compared to Forfar's 8, but Forfar managed to secure goals nonetheless.

Stranraer's discipline on the field was notable, garnering no cards, whereas their fouls were significantly higher than Forfar’s, accumulating 16 while Forfar recorded 12. Stranraer also topped the offsides' statistics with two, perhaps indicative of a slightly more aggressive offensive strategy, which unfortunately didn't pay off on this occasion.

Both sides made full use of their substitutions with three each, but the effectiveness of Stranraer's tactical changes was less obvious with a lack of converts into goals.

On the overall, Forfar demonstrated a higher level of clinical finishing, discipline, and effective utilization of possession, which evidently heavily contributed to their win against Stranraer FC. Despite Stranraer's greater ball possession, higher number of corner kicks, and more aggressive offensive strategy, they lacked in successful goal conversions. That proved to be the deciding factor in this League Two encounter.
