In the NPL NSW competitive battle between Manly United FC and St George FC on 16th February 2024, the former dominated the latter in a three-goal thriller clinching a remarkable 3-0 victory.

Manly United FC displayed an impressive show of offensive prowess, outperforming St George FC in many regards. With a high number of 8 shots on target against 4 for St George FC, it's clear that Manly United FC's strikers had an evening to remember. The strategy of maintaining offensive pressure certainly paid off as 3 out of these 8 shots found the back of the net. On the other hand, St George FC struggled to convert their chances, with 6 shots missing the target, serving as a testament to Manly United FC's strong defensive display.

The statistical edge extended to the set-pieces too. Manly United FC had 7 corner kicks in contrast to St George's 5, providing further opportunities for attack and resulting dominance in the air. This, coupled with Manly United FC registering only 2 shots off-target, showed an efficient and calculated approach to their game.

Despite facing more goal attempts, St George FC's goalkeeper managed one more save than his counterpart, thwarting five of Manly Utd's attempts. However, his efforts weren't enough to swing the results in favour of St George FC.

The battle extended beyond just goal attempts and saves, though. St George FC racked up a slightly larger number of fouls (18) in contrast to Manly United FC's 14, which might suggest a more aggressive, yet less disciplined approach from the away team.

Both teams made an equal number of substitutions (3 each), implying similar tactical adjustments during the match. In terms of offsides, the visitors tripped the offside trap three times, compared to Manly United FC's two, which may point to a high pressing line from the home side.

Overall, the performance of the home team was superb, both offensively and defensively. Their prowess in converting goals from their shots on target, strategic corner kicks management, and maintaining fewer fouls significantly impacted the final match outcome of 3-0 in their favour.
