In a decisive contest in the Welsh Cup on October 14, 2023, Barry Town United clinched a narrow victory against Porthcawl Town Athletic FC with a margin of 2-1 at home. Credit goes to Barry Town United's offensive working-style; they created more dangerous opportunities, which reflects in their higher number of shots on target (5) compared to Porthcawl Town Athletic FC's 4.

While both teams’ goalkeepers made the same number of saves (3), an additional shot on target from Barry Town United translated into a vital extra goal. The shot accuracy of Barry Town was commendable, their ratio of on-target shots to off-target shots was higher than their competitors; which was undoubtedly the key factor contributing to their victory.

The match was quite intensive, presented in the number of fouls committed - 15 by Barry Town United and 18 by Porthcawl Town Athletic FC. The discipline of both teams was admirable, with no player receiving a yellow or red card throughout the game.

Both teams had relatively similar stats in terms of corner kicks and offsides. Barry Town United won one corner kick more than Porthcawl Town Athletic FC (4 Vs 3), using them efficiently to create goal-scoring opportunities. Porthcawl Town Athletic FC, on the other hand, had one more offside than their opponents (2 Vs 1), an indication of their more aggressive, albeit less successful, approach.

The game management was also a notable difference between the sides. Barry Town United used only 2 substitutions, which may suggest a more cohesive starting line-up. In contrast, Porthcawl Town Athletic FC exhausted all three of their changes, suggesting they possibly had an issue with their initial game plan or were forced to react to Barry Town United’s superior tactics.

In sum, though closely contested, Barry Town United's superior shot accuracy combined with a well-structured game management secured them a well-fought 2-1 Welsh Cup victory over Porthcawl Town Athletic FC.
