On 05 August 2023, in the League Cup clash, Aberystwyth Town emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Barry Town United.

Statistically, Barry Town United managed to keep a larger ball possession (52%), yet this supremacy did not translate into primary goals. The balance rather tilted towards Aberystwyth Town, who displayed two successful goals, making a significant impact on the match outcome.

The match saw an equal number of substitutions on both sides which, however, did not change the course of the game. The absence of red and yellow cards in the match meant a fair play game, an aspect always appreciated by supporters and analysts, which might have had a minor impact on the final result considering there was no change of dynamics due to potential disciplinary actions.

While shots on target were relatively close with Barry Town United attempting 4 compared to Aberystwyth Town's 6, the latter's superior efficiency manifested in the scoreline. Barry Town United's goalkeeper made 4 saves, just one fewer than their opponents, which indicates a closely contested match even though Aberystwyth Town turned out to be the better finishers.

Interestingly, despite a high number of corner kicks (5 by Barry Town United and 3 by Aberystwyth Town), no team could make the most of these opportunities. The off-target shots were not a decisive factor in this game as both teams had more than 5 off-target attempts.

Barry Town United was caught offside twice, demonstrating a potentially more aggressive or poorly timed offensive line, compared to Aberystwyth Town's single offside infringement. Evaluating the fouls committed, with Barry Town United committing 5 and Aberystwyth Town 4, indicates a relatively clean game, a factor pleasing to the fans but did not majorly alter the match dynamics.

In conclusion, Aberystwyth Town made the most of its shots on target, subtly managed to keep the home team at bay, and ensured they held onto the lead despite lesser ball possession.

Hence, Aberystwyth Town's ability to make more of their opportunities, especially shots on target, proved to be the most significant factor resulting in their win over Barry Town United in this matched encounter.
