In the NPL Northern NSW competition match on 8th August 2023 between Charlestown Azzurri FC and Broadmeadow Magic FC, the incisiveness of Broadmeadow's attack combined with a highly disciplined defense led them to secure a 2-0 victory.

From the outset, Broadmeadow Magic FC demonstrated a ruthless efficiency in front of goal – with the two shots on target they had in the entire match, they scored twice within two minutes in the first half at 42:23 and 43:40. These goals perhaps set the tone for the remainder of the game, placing Charlestown Azzurri FC on the back foot.

Despite a larger number of corner kicks (7) compared to Broadmeadow (3), Charlestown Azzurri FC was unable to translate these opportunities into goals. This could point to a stronger and more coordinated defense on Broadmeadow's part, or lack of precision in Charlestown's final third play.

An interesting yet potentially problematic aspect of the match was the sheer number of yellow cards issued. With a total of 11 yellow cards, the caution seemed widespread with Charlestown Azzuri FC obtaining 7 of them. This unusually high amount of yellow cards indicates a desperate or aggressive style of play, which may have harmed their efficiency on the field. The most glaring incidence happens at the end of the second half where Charlestown was hit with three yellow cards including one converted to a red card in quick succession, between the 90th and the 95th minute.

Broadmeadow held their own with fewer yellow cards (4 in total). However, their ability to keep the team at full strength, free of any red cards shows a better disciplinary record which could be a pivotal factor in their victory.

In summary, while Charlestown Azzurri FC did not lack opportunities, their inability to convert them into goals, compounded with disciplinary issues, cost them the match. Broadmeadow Magic FC, on the other hand, capitalized effectively on fewer chances owing to a combination of sharp attacking play and disciplined, effective defense, making the most of the given opportunities.
