In a riveting NPL NSW match held on 12 June 2024, the home team Wollongong Wolves FC claimed victory over Sutherland Sharks FC with a tight score of 2-1. The match statistics reveal an intensely competitive environment and several deciding factors that influenced the outcome of the match.

Let’s start with the total number of goals scored. The home team netted their first goal in the first half at the 31:14 minute mark, securing an early lead. A decisive second goal was scored by Wollongong Wolves FC in the second half, precisely at the 59:18 minute mark resulting in a sharp lead of 2-0. Sutherland Sharks FC fought back with a goal in the second half at the 50:01 minute mark, but it was not enough for a comeback.

Now, let's delve more into the detailed stats of the match. Wollongong Wolves FC took three corner kicks compared to only one by Sutherland Sharks FC. Corner kicks are a substantial opportunity to create more goal-scoring opportunities and the Wolves FC leveraged them effectively. Sutherland Sharks FC saw one yellow card in the first half at the 20:28 minute mark which might have had a psychological impact on their performance. No red cards were handed out which means both teams maintained a level of discipline throughout the match.

Fouls committed by both teams hovered around the same number - Wollongong Wolves FC was responsible for 5 fouls while Sutherland Sharks FC committed 4. However, Wollongong Wolves FC was flagged offside twice during the match limiting their opportunities to build attacks whereas Sutherland Sharks FC had none. This could indicate that the Wolves FC had a more aggressive attacking strategy compared to the Sharks.

In summary, the game stayed competitive throughout. However, there were key moments and statistics such as Wollongong Wolves FC's early goal, their effective use of corner kicks, and Sutherland Sharks FC's yellow card which likely swung the match in Wolves FC's favor. Despite Sharks FC's fighting back with a goal in the second half and committing lesser offsides, it seems they couldn't fully recover from the Wolves FC's early upper hand. These aforementioned factors bode well for Wolves FC's team performance in future and offer Sutherland Sharks FC critical points for improvement for their future matches.
