In a hard-fought battle on April 29th, 2023 in the NPL NSW competition, Rockdale Ilinden FC emerged as a 1-0 victor over NWS Spirit FC, in a game that was greatly influenced by various statistical parameters.

Rockdale Ilinden FC quickly set about pressing their advantage in the second half of the match, dramatically altering its landscape by scoring the only goal of the match at minute 84:12 (second half 01:24:12). It was not only the deciding moment in the match, but also an individual highlight that underpinned a disciplined and targeted approach from Rockdale.

The discipline of Rockdale Ilinden FC was clear in this match. They managed to maintain a clean slate, with zero yellow cards, compared to NWS Spirit FC's 3 yellow cards – all given in the second half within a span of three minutes (second half 01:24:48 to second half 01:26:46).

Corner kicks, indicative of offensive pressure, also tilted in favour of Rockdale Ilinden FC. They notably outperformed NWS Spirit FC by setting up 9, more than double NWS Spirit FC's 4 corner kicks, clearly indicating their assault on NWS's goal which finally resulted in the only goal of the match.

Another notable statistic was the offside count. It is evident that Rockdale was playing a very direct game, with a high line of defense and a ruthlessly efficient attacking strategy. They were caught offside four times, whereas NWS Spirit FC did not venture into offside territory even once. Despite this aggressive strategy, Rockdale Ilinden FC managed to keep their defenses strong and successfully held off their rivals.

In conclusion, the one goal difference in this match seems to have outlined a victory of targeted strategies over hard discipline. Rockdale Ilinden FC managed to maintain a more attacking game, and it proved successful. However, the NWS Spirit FC team needs to retrospect their aggressive approach with a high penalty count, and lacking a crucial cutting edge. Despite commendable defensive play, they fell short of turning that into an attacking momentum, reflected by the lack of corner kicks and offsides.

All in all, the statistical factors of corner kicks, goals, and fouls, had the most significant impact on the outcome of the match. The stats demonstrate the importance of well-executed set-pieces and disciplined performance required in crunch matches. The precision and planning by Rockdale Ilinden FC seemed to have paid off against NWS Spirit FC in this encounter.
