In an intense encounter in the NPL South Australia league on 17th May 2024, Campbelltown City SC narrowly secured victory against Modbury Jets with a 1-0 scoreline. Despite a tough fight from the home team, Campbelltown City SC managed to hold their lead that was established in the early part of the first half.

Examining the statistical data reveals a very telling tale of this match. Campbelltown City SC managed to score the solitary goal of the game within the 11th minute. This early set-back seemed to unsettle Modbury Jets, who failed to make any real clinical impression on Campbelltown's defence.

Perhaps a notable factor in Modbury Jets’ defeat was the unsportsmanlike conduct resulting in three yellow cards – all in succession during the second half at the 45th, 46th and 52nd minutes. While none of these incidents resulted in a player being sent off, the mental and tactical disruption such disciplinary issues can cause is not to be underestimated. Campbelltown City SC, on the other hand, maintained their discipline throughout the match, avoiding any cards altogether.

Interestingly, despite losing the match, Modbury Jets showed better corner kick numbers. With a total of 8 corners compared to Campbelltown City SC's 3, Modbury Jets had more set-piece opportunities in the opposition box. Unfortunately, they were unable to capitalize on these opportunities, which might have painted a different story on the scoreboard.

In conclusion, whilst Modbury Jets enjoyed dominance in terms of set-pieces, the lack of precision in finishing combined with an inability to contain their disciplinary issues, dramatically hindered their performance. On the other hand, Campbelltown City SC, despite fewer corner opportunities, demonstrated better game discipline and a solid defence that allowed them to preserve their early lead. Their clinical finish at the onset of the match ultimately proved the decisive factor in this face-off.
