The 13th of August indeed proved to be a variable field day for the National Premier Leagues New South Wales (NPL NSW), with St George City FA securing a definitive win against the Sutherland Sharks FC. The home team netted 3 goals against the 1 goal from the visitors, thus giving them a comfortable lead of 2 goals.

The second half was definitely where the magic happened for St George city, with all three goals scored between the 48:50 and the 63.27-minute mark. A comparison of both teams' ball possession and their use of this possession effectively highlighted how St George managed to control the game predominantly.

While the away team might have been hopeful for an advantage when it came to set-pieces, the home team led the corner kicks count with a surprising 6-2, showing their dominance in attacking play. This undoubtedly had a clear advantage for St George City FA, providing them with more opportunities to score goals and keeping the pressure up on the away team's defence side.

In addition, the discipline aspect of the game was also in favour of St George City, with zero yellow cards compared to Sutherland Sharks’ 1 yellow card. This relatively clean sheet from the home team allowed them to maintain their focus and showing their ability to control the game without resorting to infractions.

Both teams appeared equally guilty of offside plays, with one each recorded. It indicates a fairly equal balance in terms of the desire to get forward and make significant attacking moves. However, the clear and obvious impact of being called offside can be seen in the lack of scoring opportunities that it creates, most likely contributing to the Sharks' sparse scoring.

Furthermore, fouls committed by both the teams were marginally different with St George and Sutherland Sharks committing 7 and 6 fouls respectively. Though not leading to any significant disciplinary action, these fouls certainly disrupted the flow of the game and likely thwarted several promising opportunities for both sides.

In summary, the leaderboard was evidently dominated by the home team throughout the match's entirety. St George City FA's outstanding performance in the scoring area, combined with their aggressive forward thrust and refined control over the ball, helped them clinch the coveted victory over Sutherland Sharks FC. The Sharks, on the other hand, will need to refine their defensive strategy, particularly against set-pieces, whilst maintaining discipline if they aspire for better outcomes in the future encounters.
