This Thai League fixture between Lamphun Warrior FC and Chonburi FC on 17th February 2024 proved beyond doubt that football is played for goals. Lamphun, the home side, emerged victorious with a scoreline of 2-1.

The key factor contributing to Lamphun Warrior FC's victory clearly revolved around their superior clinical display in front of the goal. Out of 5 shots on target, they managed to convert 2 into goals, demonstrating better finishing prowess than their opponents who despite having 4 shots on target, could only breach the opponent's goal once. Another noticeable factor contributing to Lamphun's win is the utilisation of accurate passes, as evidenced by their 2 assists, an area where Chonburi FC fell short.

Additionally, Lamphun Warrior FC showcased effective defensive discipline and organisation, keeping the number of fouls to 12, compared to their opponents 10 fouls. In an interesting show of discipline, this game saw no red or yellow cards from either side.

Despite losing, Chonburi FC embraced a more aggressive approach as evidenced by their advantage in corner kicks. They managed to secure 6 corner kicks as opposed to 3 by Lamphun. Unfortunately, they failed to capitalise on these set-piece opportunities, a point they will surely analyse in their post-match briefing.

However, even though Chonburi FC saw more of their shots missing the target (5 shots off target) as opposed to Lamphun’s 3, the goalkeeping performance on both ends can be credited as evenly matched. Both goalkeepers made 3 crucial saves to keep their teams in contention.

Both teams used all their allowed substitutions, indicating tactical attempts from both coaching staffs to change the scenario of the game.

One noteworthy stat in the game is offsides, with Lamphun Warrior FC only caught once compared to twice for Chonburi FC. This reflects Lamphun’s better synchronisation in their attacking play avoiding the offside trap set by their adversaries.

In conclusion, the match was a testament to the maxim that emphasises efficiency over quantity. Efficiency in taking chances and a controlled defensive discipline led Lamphun Warrior FC to a deserving victory. Chonburi FC, while exhibiting aggressive gameplay, will need to enhance their finishing ability and take a page from their opponent's book on utilising strategic passes to make their attacks count.
