The match between Morecambe and Crewe Alexandra on 18 January 2025 was a tightly contested affair, ultimately decided by a single goal from Crewe Alexandra. Despite Morecambe's dominant approach, as reflected in their seven corner kicks compared to Crewe's four, they struggled to convert their opportunities into goals. Crewe Alexandra capitalized on one of their chances early in the second half, securing the victory with a well-timed goal at the 67th minute mark.

Crewe Alexandra's discipline was tested as they amassed a total of three yellow cards, indicating a defensive strategy slightly on edge. Morecambe maintained better discipline, receiving just one yellow card throughout the match. The disparity in yellow cards suggests that Morecambe was less aggressive or more composed defensively, which might have limited their ability to effectively break down Crewe’s defense in crucial moments.

The offsides data points to Crewe Alexandra's attempts at breaking through Morecambe's defense, with two offsides compared to Morecambe's one, showcasing Crewe’s offensive ambition. However, the single successful strike underscores Crewe's precision in front of goal, despite fewer set pieces and offensive plays. Morecambe’s inability to convert their chances, especially from set pieces, was a key factor in their loss, highlighting a need for sharper attacking execution in future matches.
