In the NPL Capital Territory match held on 29th July 2023, Canberra Croatia FC showcased a formidable performance against Tuggeranong United FC, defeating them with a 4-1 scoreline. A thorough examination of the game led to some interesting insights based on key statistical factors.

Although an away fixture for them, Canberra's game strategy was admirable, dominating the scoreline as early as in the 5th minute of the first half. Amplifying their dominance further, they scored another goal in the 21st minute of the game. Canberra started the second half just as effectively, scoring their third goal just after halftime.

Tuggeranong, however, did show some resilience in the second half. Despite being three goals down, they didn’t buckle under the pressure and managed to score their only goal of the match, 8 minutes into the second half. This could have ignited a hope for a comeback, but Canberra immediately doused such hopes by maintaining a solid defense and scoring another goal in the 86th minute to seal their victory.

Analyzing the disciplinary approach of both the teams, the game was moderately aggressive. Canberra earned three yellow cards, starting only a minute into the game, with a late second yellow in the first half and a third one in the second half. Conversely, Tuggeranong also picked up two yellow cards, both in the second half, reflecting a somewhat intensified approach compared to the first half.

Though Tuggeranong had a slight upper hand in the corner kicks, with four compared to Canberra's three, they couldn't leverage this advantage effectively. The number of corner kicks indicates the attacking efforts from both the teams, however, it's crucial to employ these opportunities into goal conversions which Canberra seems to have done better.

In conclusion, despite a commendable fighting spirit displayed by Tuggeranong, the disjointed coordination in both their offensive and defensive gameplay led to their downfall. Canberra's early lead laid a strong foundation, which their robust defense cemented by not letting Tuggeranong convert their chances, leading to their quite deserved victory. This match underscored the significant impact of early domination, effective utilization of set pieces,

and disciplined gameplay on the final result.
