In the NPL Victoria football match that took place on 08 July 2023 between Bentleigh Greens SC and Oakleigh Cannons, the away team managed to secure a definitive and impressive 3-1 victory. Let's break down the key statistical factors that influenced this result.

From the onset, Oakleigh Cannons set the tone for the rest of the match, scoring just under 4 minutes into the game, thanks to their proactive offense that clearly disrupted the home team's defense. The second goal by the Cannons came late in the first half further consolidating their position.

Bentleigh initially struggled to find their footing, but a marked improvement in their performance was evident in the second half where they managed to pull one back roughly 67 minutes into the game. The home team's efforts, however, were not enough to overpower the Cannons, who netted their third goal about 26 minutes later.

Despite this loss, Bentleigh Greens SC dominated in terms of corner kicks, recording a total of 9 compared to the Cannons' 4. This might suggest that Bentleigh’s offensive strategy largely centered around attacking from the flanks. However, they were not able to convert these opportunities, which could point to ineffective finishing or strong defending from Oakleigh Cannons.

In terms of discipline, two yellow cards were recorded for Bentleigh Greens SC and only one for Oakleigh Cannons, all occurring in the second half of the match. The quick succession of yellow cards for Bentleigh could potentially indicate frustration and tactical recklessness, which might have factored into their performance and subsequently the final result of the match.

Based on the final score, and considering the timing of goals and disciplined play, Oakleigh Cannons demonstrated superior performance and teamwork which was pivotal towards their ultimate triumph. All in all, it was Bentleigh’s disability to capitalize on their opportunities, particularly from corner kicks, and the lack of composed play in the second half which heavily tilted the match towards Oakleigh Cannons.
