In a fairly balanced match in the National League North, within the constraints of the game stats recorded, the Spennymoor Town FC secured a solid 2-0 victory over Hereford FC, on September 9th, 2023.

Statistically speaking, Spennymoor's attacking prowess proved to be the deciding factor of the match. With a higher number of shots on target (6 shots against Hereford's 4), they were able to capitalise on their opportunities, scoring two goals in the second half, while Hereford FC failed to convert their chances into goals.

In terms of defensive play, both teams performed impressively with each managing 4 goal saves. However, this was not enough for Hereford as Spennymoor's accuracy in front of goal made the difference. Spennymoor also had the edge in terms of shots, getting 9 shots overall in comparison to Hereford's 6 during the game, leading to a higher pressure on the Hereford defence.

Both teams adopted a physical approach to the game which is reflected by an equal number of fouls (7 each) and corner kicks (3 each). However, the disciplinary record was commendable, as neither team received any yellow or red cards, showcasing controlled aggression.

Substitution strategy also seems to have played a part in the Spennymoor win, with one more substitution made in comparison to the Hereford side. This slight, but potentially significant advantage in terms of bringing in fresh legs could have helped Spennymoor maintain their lead and allowed them to control the game better, particularly in the second half where both their goals were scored.

In conclusion, Spennymoor Town FC's clinical accuracy, both in terms of shots on target and effectively converting them into goals, coupled with their effective substitution strategy, seemed to have most significantly affected the final outcome of this match. Hereford FC, despite matching their opponents in most other areas of play, will need to reflect on their attacking tactic, in particular, their conversion rate, if they wish to turn similar game stats into victories in the future.
