In the NPL Queensland match between Queensland Lions FC and Brisbane Roar (Youth) that took place on 17th March 2024, Brisbane Roar (Youth) managed to secure a slim victory by scoring 2 goals as against the 1 goal by Queensland Lions FC.

Delving into the game statistics, a significant contribution to the away team’s victory could have come from the formidable offensive performance exhibited in spite of the numerous fouls committed. This is suggested by the fact that Brisbane Roar (Youth) found the back of the net twice, first twenty minutes into the first half and the final decisive goal being scored at the 1:32:25 mark of the second half.

Subverting the usual correlation between scoring opportunities and corner kicks, Brisbane Roar (Youth) was only able to secure three corner kicks, a stark contrast to Queensland Lions FC's nine. It indicates that Brisbane Roar (Youth)'s effectiveness in capitalizing on direct goal scoring opportunities rather than set pieces may have been a game-changer.

Another key aspect to note was that, Brisbane Roar (Youth) despite the four yellow cards – a significant signal towards their aggressive game play – remained unhampered in their scoring abilities. The discipline of Queensland Lions FC, however, was showcased by their lack of yellow cards or offsides, painting a picture of more cautious, defence-oriented gameplay.

Nevertheless, the game was not without its balance. Queensland Lions FC, while they scored fewer goals, were only caught offside once compared to Brisbane Roar (Youth)'s four offsides. This could indicate that Queensland Lions FC showed greater tactical acumen when it comes to respecting the offside rules. These could also suggest that their attackers were more patient and precise in their timing compared to their opponents. On the other hand, Brisbane Roar (Youth)'s relative frequent falling into the offside trap could point to the team's high-risk high-reward approach to attacking.

In conclusion, despite racking up multiple fouls and offsides, it was Brisbane Roar (Youth) who triumphed. Through skilled goal scoring, even with fewer corner kicks and falling offside more frequently, they were able to gain the upper hand and pivot the outcome of the match in their favour. Conversely, Queensland Lions FC, even with better discipline and higher corner kicks, were unable to convert those opportunities into goals, ultimately resulting in their defeat.
