In the A-League Women competition that took place on 18 March 2023, Wellington Phoenix FC (Women) hosted Perth Glory (Women) in a well-fought match. Although Wellington Phoenix FC enjoyed home ground advantage, they weren't able to score, resulting in Perth Glory (Women) securing a 1-0 win.

Based on the statistical data provided, the solitary goal of the game was scored quite early in the game first half at exactly 10 minutes and 2 seconds. This goal seemed to have set the pace of the match, as Wellington Phoenix FC, despite maintaining a higher number of corner kicks (8) compared to Perth Glory's 3, were not able to convert these advantageous opportunities into goals. This suggests that Perth Glory's defensive tactics were successful in containing the home team's offensive play.

Despite the pressure from Wellington Phoenix FC, the away team appeared to have a more disciplined game, committing just one foul. Interestingly, the home team didn't commit any fouls, and this is unusual considering they were the trailing team and pressure often results in fouls.

Tempers flared during the match, as reflected by the one yellow card each side received in the second half, almost simultaneously, at the 77th minute for the away team and at 77 minutes 12 seconds for the home team. However, the disciplinary actions did not escalate to a point where any player was shown a red card.

It's interesting to note that despite the home team's aggressive offensive play reflected in the higher number of corner kicks, Perth Glory (Women) managed to ward off any potential threats and scored the only goal to claim victory. This could be due to various factors such as the strength of their defense or perhaps the inability of the home team to utilize those corner kick opportunities efficiently.

All in all, it was a game where meticulous defense, disciplined play, and early scoring of Perth Glory (Women) outperformed Wellington Phoenix FC's offensive intent. The early goal was perhaps the most significant factor that defined the game, putting Wellington Phoenix FC on the backfoot from the word go and ultimately influencing the outcome of the game.
