In the NPL NSW fixture between Marconi Stallions FC and St George City FA on 13 July 2024, Marconi Stallions emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. Analysis of key match statistics reveals significant influencing factors on the outcome. Early on in the match, both teams received yellow cards just under five minutes into the game, indicating an aggressively contested opening that set the tone for the players’ mentality throughout.

Marconi Stallions displayed offensive efficiency with two goals from limited opportunities, scoring early in both halves (minutes 44:12 and 65:54). Their superior finishing was crucial, given the limited shots precisely documented here but symbolically underscored by only narrowly outnumbering St George City FA in corner kicks (2-1). This suggests Marconi efficiently capitalized on rare attacking scenarios.

Conversely, St George City FA’s discipline issues significantly impacted their performance. Accumulating four yellow cards and two late red cards (notably after Marconi's second goal), they were frequently undermined by periods of numerical disadvantage. This suggests a loss of composure, affecting their ability to maintain sustained pressure, and explains their solitary goal in the 85th minute, falling short of securing draws or wins.

Both teams were relatively clean with only one foul each, indicating controlled aggression that balanced their otherwise high-tempo play. However, the critical key was Marconi’s better conversion rate and defensive discipline which held off St George City FA’s late attempts to equalize. Essentially, discipline—both in maintaining player numbers and maximizing scoring potential—was the defining difference in this tightly contested encounter.
