In the early hours of the 17th of February 2024, Sydney Olympic FC clashed with Hills United FC in a gripping NPL NSW match. In a closely contested fight for dominance, Hills United emerged as the winning side, scoring two goals against Sydney Olympic's one.

Statistical review highlights that despite Sydney Olympic FC having a higher number of shots on target (7 versus Hills United's 5), they couldn't convert their opportunities as efficiently as their opponents. The Sydney team also had more instances of shooting off target (6) than Hills United (3), leaving their striking efficiency in question.

The match also saw Sydney Olympic's goalkeeper making 3 saves compared to 6 saves made by Hills United's goalkeeper, further exemplifying the effectiveness of Hills United's defence. The commendable performance of the Hills United goalkeeper helped keep Sydney Olympic FC's scoring at bay, significantly impacting the match's outcome.

An interesting observation from the match is that while Sydney Olympic FC had the higher number of corner kicks (4) and offsides (5), they couldn't leverage these set-piece opportunities to swing the game in their favor. In contrast, Hills United managed to capitalize on their 5 corner kicks to maintain pressure on Sydney Olympic FC.

In terms of discipline, both teams managed to steer clear of any cards, red or yellow, staying on the safe side of the referee's whistle. However, Hills United committed slightly more fouls (10) than Sydney Olympic (8), and yet they were successful in curtailing their opponents' scoring.

The usage of substitutions outlined different strategic approaches by the teams, with Sydney Olympic making all three of their changes, while Hills United only opted for two. Sydney Olympic's additional substitution suggests they were attempting to tilt the scale in their favor, but Hills United's strategy emerged successful in maintaining the upper hand.

Overall, it was Hills United’s defensive prowess and capitalization on fewer offensive opportunities that sealed their victory, a testament to their superior performance in this match against Sydney Olympic FC. Despite Sydney Olympic FC's assertive attempts and close numbers, they fell short, with their lack of efficiency in converting opportunities being a decisive factor.
