This match review is of the League One face-off between Shrewsbury Town and Cambridge United with its fair share of goals, yellow cards, and corner kicks. The final whistle saw Cambridge United walk away with a 2-1 victory over the home team, although the stats suggest a closely contested match.

Scoring opened relatively early, with Shrewsbury managing to net their solitary goal by the 11th minute. However, Cambridge bounced back with equal determination; merely two minutes later, they leveled the score. The consistent pressure and calculated play carried United through to the second half, where they scored the decisive goal in the 46th minute, setting the scoreboard at 1-2.

Despite being on the back foot, Shrewsbury Town managed to create more opportunities for themselves, demonstrated by their corner kick tally that exceeded their opponents' by a margin of 5 to 2. This suggests their proactive offensive performance and control in tighter areas, although it did not reflect on the final scores. However, the possession stats might have painted a different picture for the Shrews.

As far as discipline was concerned, both teams received an equal number of yellow cards (2 each), with the home side being the only ones to have a player sent off with a red card. The timing of these cards, especially the two late yellow cards for Shrewsbury Town in the final twenty minutes, could have disrupted the rhythm of their attempts for an equalizer.

However, it is noteworthy that Cambridge United, despite having comparatively fewer corner kicks and the same number of yellow cards as their opponents, managed to cling to their lead. This may hint towards a defensive strategy from their end, absorbing pressure and capitalizing on the scoring opportunities presented. The away team also showed more discipline in avoiding a red card, which probably maintained their numerical advantage on the pitch and tilted the game in their favor.

In conclusion, Cambridge's strategy of capitalizing on their chances alongside a disciplined game to avoid any red cards were the key statistical factors in their win over Shrewsbury Town. Despite Shrewsbury showing promise with the number of corner kicks they secured, the match proved that simply creating opportunities does not always guarantee a favourable result. The discipline on the field by Cambridge and their efficient use of chances contributed to the match's overall dynamics and ultimately their victory.
