This coverage opens with the NPL Northern NSW match on the 16th April 2023, where Edgeworth Eagles FC hosted Cooks Hill United FC. At the end of a highly competitive match, Edgeworth Eagles FC prevailed, winning the match by 3 goals to 2.

It is important to highlight the first half, where the home team, Edgeworth Eagles FC showcased great teamwork, seizing control and scoring 3 goals. The goals at 4:44, 13:43 and 15:12 came in quick succession and displayed a well-coordinated attack, which was a significant factor in the match's outcome.

It's worth noting that despite gaining a comfortable lead of 3-0 within the first 15 minutes, the aggressive approach of the Eagles resulted in a yellow card at 14:05, showing a moment of concern while maintaining an aggressive stance in the game. The yellow card situation for both teams was identical, with Cooks Hill United FC receiving a yellow card at 14:13 just minutes after the home team. Remarkably, both teams shared equal discipline statistics with one yellow card each and no red cards throughout the match.

The second half saw Cooks Hill United FC regain some ground with goals at 63:47 and 72:18. These goals highlight a good almost comeback attempt from the away team, exploiting the defensive lapses of the home team. Yet, the margin of 3 goals created in the first half by Edgeworth Eagles FC proved to hard to overhaul by Cooks Hill United FC.

Speaking of set-pieces, the number of corner kicks was fairly evenly matched, with Cooks Hill United FC marginally leading by 4 compared to the Edgeworth Eagles' 3. However, taking into consideration the final scoreline, it can deduced that the effective use of these set-pieces was not significant enough to alter the game's outcome.

Moreover, each team's discipline seemed calculated, judged by the fact that there were very few offside involvements during the entire match. This statistic points towards well-structured defensive formations and tactical discipline from both sides. The home team was called offside once, while Cooks Hill United FC maintained a clean slate in this regard.

In conclusion, despite a spirited fightback from Cooks Hill United FC in the second half, it was the well-coordinated offensive strategy and early lead of Edgeworth Eagles FC that played the most significant role in their victory.
