On 15th December 2023, the A-League football match between Western Sydney Wanderers and Adelaide United concluded with a 1-0 victory for the home team, Western Sydney Wanderers.

Despite having only one goal, the match won by Western Sydney was intensely contested. The only goal came early in the game, precisely at 22:42 during the first half, setting the tone of the match. Western Sydney's defensive structure was staunch after the early goal in the first half, which is evident from the statistical data accumulated from the game.

In terms of disciplinary actions, there were three yellow cards and one red card issued. Western Sydney Wanderers received two yellow cards, one in the 74th minute and another shortly after, in the 78th minute. Adelaide United also received a yellow card in the 77th minute.

In terms of fouls committed, the away side, Adelaide United, were more ill-disciplined with a total of 12 fouls as compared to 9 committed by the home team. This more aggressive approach from Adelaide United however did not translate to more scoring opportunities, as they ended the match without a goal.

Statistically, corner kicks were almost evenly distributed with Western Sydney Wanderers having 6 corner kicks and Adelaide United having 5. This indicates that both teams had their share of attacking play.

Where the home side shone, however, was their ability to maintain their offside line with precision, causing Adelaide United to be caught offside four times, which could have halted potential threats. By contrast, Western Sydney Wanderers were much more disciplined in their attacking movements, being caught offside only once throughout the match.

In comparison, it was clearly the defensive organization and discipline of Western Sydney Wanderers that ultimately led to their victory. Despite the greater number of fouls and receiving more cards that included a red one, they held their fort and returned a clean sheet.
