In the Scottish Championship competition held on 30 September 2023, Partick Thistle FC (PTFC) showcased a dominant performance against Dunfermline Athletic FC (DAFC), winning the match convincingly with a scoreline of 3-0. PTFC's remarkable efficiency in front of the goal decidedly impacted the match outcome.

PTFC launched 17 shots, 9 of which were on target, demonstrating a conversion ratio of close to 18%. This far outpaced DAFC that could only manage 7 shots, of which 5 were on target. Interestingly, despite DAFC having fewer shots off target (2 compared to PTFC's 8), their inability to convert opportunities undermined their performance.

The effectiveness of PTFC's attacking prowess can also be highlighted by the number of assists, with PTFC recording 2 assists which covertly corroborate the three goals registered. Conversely, DAFC struggled to establish any fluid link-ups, indicated by zero assists throughout the game.

Defensive performance statistically displayed a closer contest, with both teams calling upon their goalkeepers constantly. However, PTFC's goalkeeper made 5 critical saves which underscored a significant contribution to their clean sheet. Even though DAFC's goalkeeper pulled off 6 saves, the higher frequency of PTFC shots on target ultimately led to DAFC conceding thrice.

A clear correlation can be drawn between PTFC's 5 corner kicks, 3 offsides, and their attacking pressure as they managed to capitalise on their set-piece opportunities contributing to the goal count. Meanwhile, the DAFC struggled to make most of their 3 corner kicks and only caught offside twice, indicating a lack of incisive play in the final third.

The match was moderately aggressive with PTFC committing 12 fouls in comparison to DAFC's 16. However, this did not result in any yellow or red cards for either side. Substitutions played a slight role in the proceedings, with PTFC making three changes to DAFC's two, suggesting better utilisation of squad depth by the PTFC.

In conclusion, Partick Thistle FC's superior attacking display combined with resilient defensive performance resulted in a substantial victory over Dunfermline Athletic FC. The match statistics highlight the effectiveness of their attacking play and their opportunistic utilization of set-pieces.
