The match between Adelaide Comets FC and Para Hills Knights SC was a tightly contested affair, ultimately decided by a single goal scored early in the first half by the visitors at the 26:47 mark. Para Hills' early strike set the tone for the match and forced the Adelaide Comets onto the back foot early. Para Hill's ability to capitalize quickly on a defensive lapse in the Comets’ backline was a key factor in securing their victory.

In terms of discipline, Para Hills Knights SC's aggressive play resulted in four yellow cards, indicative of their robust defensive strategy aimed at disrupting the Comets’ attacking efforts. In contrast, Adelaide Comets received two yellow cards, suggesting a more disciplined approach. However, the disparity in cards did not handicap the Knights significantly thanks to their successful containment of Adelaide's offensive moves.

The disparity in corner kicks was another telling factor, with Para Hills earning 10 corners to the Comets’ 5. This statistic underscores the Knights' offensive pressure and ability to maintain play in the opposition’s defensive third, limiting Adelaide's penetration into their own attacking zones. Despite Adelaide’s efforts, their inability to convert these set-piece opportunities and their struggles in finishing chances on target were critical to their loss.

Offside infringements were fairly low and close between both teams, with Adelaide being flagged twice and Para Hills once. This reflects both teams' attempts to play disciplined and strategic attacking football, yet it also highlights Adelaide's challenges in synchronizing their forward momentum effectively. The efficient defensive organization of Para Hills, coupled with their early scoring and control of pace, decisively impacted the outcome, allowing them to secure a hard-fought away victory.
