In this intensive bout between Peninsula Power FC (Wom) and Sunshine Coast Wanderers (Wom) in the NPL Queensland - Women competition on August 11, 2023, one could say that Sunshine Coast Wanderers came out top with a 2-1 victory. This victory wasn't as straightforward as the scores suggest. There were numerous critical factors that dramatically impacted the match's result.

First, let's examine the goal-scoring department. Sunshine Coast Wanderers started the first half on a bright note, dominating their opponents by scoring two quick goals within the first 32 minutes of the game. The first was netted at 17:30 (1st half) and the second, not long after, in the 31st minute. Peninsula Power FC, on the other hand, had a slow start but managed to claw their way back into the game with a vital goal in the second half at 86:35 to make it 1-2.

In terms of discipline, however, Sunshine Coast Wanderers struggled. They accumulated a total of 3 yellow cards throughout the match, with two of these cards given in the second half at 81:07 and 89:14 respectively. The lone yellow card for Peninsula Power FC didn't come until the 33:44 mark in the first half. These yellow cards potentially impacted the Wanderers' gameplay, possibly creating defensive vulnerabilities.

When it comes to corner kicks, Peninsula Power FC dominated the statistics with 6 corner kicks compared to Sunshine Coast Wanderers' 4. Despite having fewer corners, the Wanderers were more clinical, converting their opportunities into goals.

Probing deeper into the statistics, it seems Sunshine Coast Wanderers' effective precision and striking ability proved substantial in this match-up against he Peninsula Power FC, especially in the first half of the game. However, their lack of discipline nearly cost them as they had to play a significant chunk of the match on edge due to the yellow cards accrued.

On the other hand, Peninsula Power FC perhaps had more chances with a higher number of corner kicks. However, they failed to convert these opportunities into goals, apart from the one conceded by the Wanderers in the late second half. Their solitary disciplinary issue evidenced some good control over their game despite the loss.

Conclusively, Sunshine Coast Wanderers' grass-routed, high-precision gameplay granted them the upper hand in this match, but they should be wary of their high ill-discipline stat in the future encounters. Peninsula Power FC can look back at the missed opportunities, particularly the corner kicks, where they failed to capitalise.

However, it's imperative not to overlook the closely contested nature of the match that kept both teams toe-to-toe, hinting that upcoming encounters could swing either way, contingent on how both teams address their respective weaknesses.
