In the NPL NSW league match between Wollongong Wolves FC and Rockdale Ilinden FC, Rockdale Ilinden FC secured a convincing victory with a 3-1 scoreline.

The critical factor was Rockdale Ilinden FC's aggressive start, culminating in three goals scored in the first half, all within the first thirty-two minutes. The first goal was scored at 00:12:25, which set the pace for the match. With the second and third goals following at 00:30:14 and 00:31:24 respectively, Rockdale Ilinden FC had an iron-clad lead before Wollongong Wolves FC could counter significantly.

However, Wollongong Wolves FC did not succumb entirely, pulling off a late goal during the second half at 01:03:40. Even though this did little to change the match's outcome, it demonstrated the resilience and the fight in the team. Meanwhile, Rockdale Ilinden FC's defensive strategy was to maintain their lead, evidenced by their less number of corner kicks—only two compared to Wollongong Wolves FC, who had five.

While the game was relatively clean, an important aspect was discipline. Rockdale Ilinden FC had received three yellow cards, one in the first half at 00:27:33 and two in the second half at 00:56:42 and 1:28:42. Wollongong Wolves FC, on the other hand, received only one yellow card towards the end of the second half at 01:30:14. Although none of these evolved into red cards to seriously jeopardize the team's strength, Rockdale Ilinden FC's slightly aggressive game could have proven problematic in a different scenario.

In conclusion, Rockdale Ilinden FC's rapid-fire goals in the initial stage were a game-changing factor. Their aggressive approach helped them build an unassailable lead that dictated the match's direction. Wollongong Wolves FC, unfortunately, could not capitalize on their higher number of corner kicks or Rockdale Ilinden FC's discipline issues to turn the tide in their favor. This match should serve as a lesson for future encounters about the importance of a strong, aggressive start and maintaining discipline throughout to ensure victories.
