In the Cymru Premier League fixture held on 17 October 2023, between Haverfordwest County and Penybont FC, we bore witnesses to an unexpected turn of events. With statistical backings in play, the contest painted quite an impressive picture.

Leveraging on home turf, Haverfordwest County successfully scored three goals in the first half of the game. The first goal came in relatively early, at the 11:40 minute-mark, with the home team further establishing their dominance through a quick second goal at minute 22:11 and an impressive third one at minute 44:10.

However, Penybont FC didn't back down easily. They made a solid comeback with their first goal launched at the fag end of the first half in the 50:51 minute mark. Their persistence paid off as they subsequently slashed the deficit in the second half with a goal at the 61:21 minute mark.

Despite the commendable offense, Penybont FC had a relatively messy defensive strategy indicated by the three yellow cards that they received- one in the first half at minute 45:34 and two more in the second half at minute 50:11 and 64:22 respectively. Haverfordwest County managed the game remarkably well, maintaining a clean sheet of 0 yellow cards.

With six corner kicks in the game, Penybont FC managed to secure the upper hand in terms of chances created as compared to the Haverfordwest County's two. However, the latter efficiently turned their few chances into goals, thus exhibiting a higher conversion rate.

An interesting observation was that Haverfordwest was the only team taken offside once during the game. This is an indicator that the team was playing a higher line, an assertive tactic, which might have contributed to their early goal dominance in the first half.

In an overall analysis of this game, despite trailing on corners, Haverfordwest County's efficiency allowed them to secure more goals. In contrast, Penybont FC, while they had more chances, eventually fell due to their defensive fouls. The timing of Haverfordwest County's goals in the first half, combined with a disciplined defensive performance with zero cards, played an influential role in this fixture's outcome.
