On the 15th of July, 2023 EEST, an enthralling football match took course in the NPL Northern NSW competition, which saw Maitland FC, the home team, going head-to-head against the visiting Edgeworth Eagles FC. Both teams exhibited starkly contrasting performances, with the home team Maitland FC recording an emphatic victory of 4-0 over the Eagles.

Scoring four goals with nary a single goal conceded is an impressive feat by any account. A closer inspection of the goals shows their timing reflected strategic play by Maitland FC. The first goal was claimed early in the first half of the game at the 18:53 mark. This arguably not only put Maitland at the upper hand but also set the tone for the rest of the match. In the second half, Maitland demonstrated a tightly held defense and their offensive prowess by scoring three more goals at the 45:47, 56:11, and finally at the 1:24:20 mark.

Edgeworth Eagles FC, on the other hand, had a challenging match. It was unfortunate that they were unable to find the back of the net, and moreover, they found themselves accumulating more yellow cards than their opponents. The two yellow cards received by Edgeworth Eagles FC came late in the second half, at minute 1:03:04 and 1:26:37, further damaging their chances for recovery. Maitland FC received a yellow card as well in the dying minutes at 1:32:51 but the damage was already done for the Eagles.

In addition, the only red card of the match was shown to the away team, Edgeworth Eagles FC. The red card, combined with the two yellow cards, not only reduced the number of active players on the field but also must have noticeably affected their overall team morale.

Interestingly, there was a stark contrast in the number of corner kicks taken by the two teams. Maitland FC only had one corner kick throughout the game, compared to zero by Edgeworth Eagles. This suggests that the match was dominated by the former team in terms of maintaining ball possession and having a firm handle on the flow of the game.

The match was clearly dominated by Maitland FC. Not only did they record an immense four goals, but they were also able to limit their infringements and maintain greater possession through reduced corner kicks awarded to the Eagles. While the Eagles may have tried to maintain a defensive stand to prevent further leakage of goals, it certainly cost them in terms of their offense and possession. The timely goals and strategic play, coupled with disciplinary missteps by the Eagles, tilted the match heavily in the favor of Maitland FC, leading to their resounding success.
