The League Two fixture on February 17, 2024, saw Stranraer FC hosting Spartans FC in a tightly contested match where the away side clinched the victory with a final score of 2-1.

Spartans FC showcased clear offensive dominance in this match, as reflected in their superior count of shots on target (5 against Stranraer FC's 3) which translated into more goals. Despite having only two corners to Stranraer's four, the quality of the away team's forward plays was more impactful. This was also mirrored in the fact that Spartans FC had fewer shots off target (2) than Stranraer FC (7), chastising their lack of precision despite more frequent goal attempts.

Contrarily, the home side, Stranraer FC, while animated in offensive efforts, struggled to find their rhythm in front of the goal. While they succeeded in forcing the visiting goalkeeper into making two saves, they couldn't build on these opportunities which affected their eventual scoreline.

For better maneuverability during play, Stranraer FC made three substitutions, as compared to the one substitution made by the Spartans FC. However, these tactical changes failed to flip the score in their favor, as the away side skillfully maintained their lead.

Defensively, both teams managed to steer clear of yellow and red cards, indicating a disciplined and balanced approach in their game strategies. The home side, however, committed more fouls (5 against Spartans FC's 3), indicating slightly aggressive gameplay that may have resulted in opportunities for the away team. In terms of offsides, Stranraer FC fell foul once, whereas the away team managed to maintain their line discipline throughout the match.

In conclusion, Spartans FC's efficient use of shot opportunities was a critical decider, contributing to an excellent away victory. Stranraer FC, while making an earnest attempt, will need to work on their goal conversion ratio and reduce the number of missed shots to enhance their competitiveness in future matches.
