The home team was also proactive in creating opportunities as seen in the 5 corner kicks earned in the match compared to just 2 for Slough Town FC. This, in part, helped them maintain pressure on the opposition's defensive area.

Defensively, both teams showed grit but Dover Athletic demonstrated better goalkeeping, with their keeper saving both on-target shots from Slough Town FC. This performance, paired with their better shooting accuracy, essentially determined the result of the match.
