The National First Division clash between Baroka FC and Milford FC on 31 October was a real exhilarating match with a constant end to end football. Baroka triumphed with 3 goals compared to Milford's 2, despite Milford having more shots on target (8 compared to Baroka's 7) and more corners (5 against 4).

Baroka boasted a better accuracy rate, with them having fewer shots off-target (3 against 6 for Milford). This demonstrates their players' ability to create more decisive opportunities, securing their victory. The critical control of the first half can be attributed to their accurate shots on goal, with 3 out of 4 shots on target in the first half.

Both teams had equal number of fouls (5 each), demonstrating a balanced level of aggressiveness and competitiveness in their approach to the game. The substitution strategy for both teams was also similar, utilizing all three available changes.

In terms of goalkeeping, both teams showcased impressive performance with each keeper making six saves throughout the game. However, Baroka's keeper turned out to be slightly more robust by maintaining a clean sheet in second half despite facing slightly more on-target shots (6 against 4).

The offside trap played by both teams was detrimental to Milford FC who was caught offside 6 times overall, compared to Baroka's 3. Despite the numerous offsides, they were still able to manage more shots than Baroka, demonstrating their offensive strength.

Despite having no red or yellow cards, the game was quite competitive with an equal number of fouls from both teams. Discipline was not a decisive factor in this match.

In conclusion, Baroka FC's victory over Milford FC was significantly influenced by their accuracy in front of goal, effective first-half control, better offside strategy and solid goalkeeping in the second half despite being under pressure. Milford, while demonstrating offensive strength with more shots on target and corners, could not effectively convert these into goals.
