In the NPL Northern NSW match-off that took place on 23rd July 2023 at 04:30 EEST, the Edgeworth Eagles FC were up against Valentine FC, where Eagles took a commanding victory home with a scoreline of 3-0. The Eagles made the most of their home ground advantage and their performance reflected in their stronger statistics over their opponents.

From the get-go, evidence of superior ball control and aggressive play was displayed by the home team with an early opening goal at just the 18th minute of the match, setting a pressing tone for Valentine FC. This offensive stance continued and resulted in the second goal at the 42nd minute, ending the first half with a discouraging scoreline of 2-0 against the away team.

The statistics further demonstrate the home side's offensive domination, with 5 offsides compared to just 1 by Valentine FC. This is a reflection of Edgeworth Eagles FC's forward-push strategy, keeping the opposition’s defense under constant pressure. Although this aggressive forward play resulted in a couple of yellow cards for the Eagles, it did not seem to hinder their performance, as they solidified their lead with a third goal at 56th minute.

In terms of corner kicks, a commonly accepted indicator of a team's attacking chances, the Eagles had one more (5) than Valentine FC (4). This further implies the superior attacking power the Eagles exhibited on the day. Nonetheless, the lack of yellow cards from Valentine FC against the two from Edgeworth Eagles suggests a more disciplined defensive side, but this unfortunately did not translate into a secure goal area.

Despite the seeming attacking prowess of Valentine FC depicted by their 4 corner kicks, they remained goalless throughout the match. This failure to convert their corners into actual goals, coupled with their sole offside occurrence, suggests ineffective finishing and less offensive risk-taking.

Overall, Edgeworth Eagles FC demonstrated a more superior game control, and though it appeared at times that the aggressive offense would be detrimental, with the yellow cards they picked up, they successfully converted their daring play into a decisive win. It's apparent from their statistical performance that their assertive offensives, better game control, and successful finishes were the key determinants in their victory over Valentine FC.
