The Northern Premier Division match between Ilkeston FC and Ashton United resulted in the victory of the home team in an engaging 90 minutes of football. With a scoreline of 3-1, the decisive factors magnified Ilkeston FC's tactical proficiency and individual ability.

Ilkeston FC demonstrated superior attacking efficacy throughout the match, as visible in their on-target shots. They made a total of eight successful attempts at goal compared to Ashton United's five. The home team’s attacking momentum was further supported by five corner kicks that presented more opportunities for goal action. On the defensive side, Ilkeston FC won appreciably as well, keeping their fouls to a minimum of 6 against Ashton’s 4.

In addition to more attacking opportunities, Ilkeston FC was more clinical in their finishing, getting 3 of their shots past the keeper to hit the net. The brilliance of Ilkeston’s frontline was further evident in the two beautifully crafted assists that led to goals. Despite Ashton United making one more substitution than the home team, the changes failed to affect the match's dynamic in their favor.

Goalkeeping aptitude was another area where Ilkeston FC edged out the competition. Their goalkeeper made a whopping five saves, one more than Ashton United's goalkeeper, which effectively minimized the goal deficit.

However, it was not all smooth sailing for Ilkeston FC as they saw themselves caught offside twice during the match while Ashton United was caught offside three times. Although this kept disruptive pauses to the game on both sides, Ashton United was troubled more by disrupting their attacking rhythm.

In conclusion, the match outcome rested on an amalgamation of factors like the higher number of shots on target, corner kicks, stellar goalkeeper performance, and fewer fouls committed by Ilkeston FC. The team's superior tactical cohesion, anticipation, and play execution underpinned their triumph in this Northern Premier Division battle.
