The AFC Cup clash between Macarthur FC and Phnom Penh Crown FC on November 9, 2023, was a one-sided affair, with Macarthur FC ruling supreme by 5-0 on their home turf.

Macarthur FC gave a robust offensive display, punctuated by five goals with three in the first half and two in the second half, scored at 16:17, 20:03, 39:57, 80:31, and 89:31 respectively. The potency of their attack can be seen in the breakdown of their goal timings. The opening three goals were evenly spread over the course of the first half, keeping pressure on Phnom Penh Crown FC throughout. The additional two goals in the second half were closer together, suggesting more concentrated bursts of attack near the end of the game.

In contrast, the performance of Phnom Penh Crown FC was marred by a lack of shots on target to challenge the home team’s goalkeeper. Moreover, they did not manage to record any offside call, perhaps indicating a lack of aggressive forward movement to threaten Macarthur's defense.

In terms of set-pieces, Macarthur FC took advantage with four corner kicks, offering more goal-scoring opportunities. On the other hand, Phnom Penh Crown FC only managed two corners which depicted their lesser attacking prowess and control over the game.

The disciplinary metrics leaned towards Macarthur FC, who accumulated eight fouls and a yellow card. However, this did not negatively impact their game as they managed to keep their aggressive play within acceptable limits, as evidenced by the absence of a red card. Phnom Penh Crown FC had only half the fouls of their opponents, indicating a more defensive approach manifest in their fewer number of aggressive attacks resulting in offsides.

In summary, the game was defined by Macarthur FC's aggressive attack and effective utilization of set-pieces. Their ability to maintain pressure across both halves and their dominance in terms of strategic indicators like corners and fouls left Phnom Penh Crown FC on the back foot throughout the match, as reflected in the emphatic final scoreline.
