In the First Division football match on 19th November 2023, Central and Western District R&SA prevailed over Shatin SA with a 2-1 win as a consequence of their superior control and strategic play. The data and the statistical factors analysed indicate that there were crucial turning points in the match that affected the final outcome.

The away team had the first goal in the first half at 34 minutes 30 seconds, setting the tone for what was to be a tough match for Shatin SA. Their efficiency in scoring the first goal so early in the game reflected a decisive attack from the team. The second goal came in the second half, at 1 hour 16 minutes 49 seconds, reinforcing their dominance in the match. Although Shatin SA managed to pull a goal back within 2 minutes (at 1 hour 18 minutes 29 seconds), it wasn't enough to balance the scales.

The discipline records painted a clearer insight into the fierceness of the game. Shatin SA seemed to struggle with discipline, reflected in the 3 yellow cards they received in comparison to the 2 yellow cards received by the Central and Western District R&SA. The home side's struggles to stay disciplined and their inability to maintain structure under pressure, notably right around when the second goal was scored, was a significant factor in their defeat.

Nonetheless, the home side displayed a slight superiority in terms of set piece opportunities, with 4 corner kicks compared to the away team's 3. Unfortunately, Shatin SA could not convert these opportunities into goals, showing a weak set-piece strategy and execution. In addition, Shatin SA also displayed an efficient defence line with the away side getting flagged offside a significant 5 times. Their tight defensive line however didn't translate into overall game control, highlighting a disconnection between their defensive and offensive strategies.

In summary, the Central and Western District R&SA's control of the game, notably their early goal, combined with their comparative on-field discipline, greatly contributed to their victory. Shatin SA, despite a momentary recovery and solid defensive line, lost the match due to lack of scoring efficiency, failure to capitalize on set-piece opportunities, and an overall lack of discipline. This statistical analysis can aid bettors in identifying key performance trends and patterns for the two teams to make more informed decisions for future matches.
