Analyzing the game between Brisbane City FC and Queensland Lions FC in the NPL Queensland competition, it's clear that the match was far from predictable, culminating in a 2-1 win for the home team. Though entertaining, the game presented a handful of stats key to the result.

One of the defining aspects was in terms of goals. Brisbane City FC got off to a strong start with their first goal coming in quite early within the first 15 minutes of the game. Followed by their second in the infant stages of the second half. The latter was crucial for Brisbane, serving as a cushion as Queensland Lions managed to pull one back later on. Though Queensland Lions FC rallied late in the second half, Brisbane's early and quick goals were the deciding factor of this match.

Despite Queensland Lions FC having the majority of the corner kicks, 8 compared to Brisbane's 2, they failed to capitalize on those opportunities. Their inefficiency from set pieces ended up costing them dearly, as Brisbane City took the few chances that came their way.

Exemplifying discipline, the home side managed to keep a clean slate in terms of yellow cards compared to a single card for Lions, resulting in no significant disruption in their strategic setups or rhythm.

A further point to highlight is the number of offsides. It's evident that the home side's forward pushes were met with a well-composed defensive line by Queensland Lions FC. With 4 offsides to the away side's 2, the Brisbane team had to do a lot of work to break past the away team's solid defensive structure.

Overall, the managed efficacy in converting corner kicks into productive end products, creating early leads, and maintaining strategic composure were key elements that worked in favor of Brisbane City FC. Despite Queensland Lions FC's strong defensive strategy which had Brisbane caught offside on multiple occasions, they fell short as they failed to utilize their opportunities from corners and a timely goal to turn the tide.
