The matchup between Bolton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town in the EFL Trophy culminated in a decisive 3-1 victory for the home team, Bolton. Key to Bolton’s success was their efficiency in capitalizing on scoring opportunities, reflected in their three goals despite an equal number of offsides with Huddersfield. Bolton’s superior discipline, with only one yellow card compared to Huddersfield's five, also minimized disturbances in their play, allowing them to maintain composure and control throughout the game.

Huddersfield Town struggled significantly with discipline, as evidenced by accumulating five yellow cards—a factor that undeniably disrupted their tactical approach and limited their capacity to exert pressure effectively against a more disciplined Bolton side. The flurry of cards between the 48th and 51st minute seemed to rattle Huddersfield, hampering their ability to constructively challenge Bolton’s dominance, especially in the second half.

Despite a disadvantage in corner kicks, just four compared to Bolton's eight, Huddersfield showed some attacking presence but were not clinical enough to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. Bolton’s ability to handle corner kick situations defensively and leverage their set pieces offensively underpinned their strategy, as seen in their conversion of second-half momentum into two quick goals, sealing their triumph conclusively.
