On the 22nd of June 2024, Floreat Athena FC hosted Perth Glory (Youth) in an NPL Western Australia club match. With a single goal difference recorded in favour of Perth Glory (Youth), it was evident how critical performance analysis was to determine decisive factors in the game.

Perth Glory (Youth) demonstrated proficiency by sealing the match with a single goal which came in the second half, and it turned out to be the only goal of the entire 90 minutes. Even though Floreat Athena FC made 8 corner kicks as opposed to Perth Glory (Youth)'s 6, they were unable to convert these opportunities into goals. This suggests that Perth Glory (Youth) was able to utilise their defensive tactics efficiently and underpins the clear differences in the teams' approach in creating opportunities and sealing them.

However, it's equally important to consider disciplinary actions which could weigh into the overall team performance. Floreat Athena FC was shown 4 yellow cards and 1 red card as opposed to Perth Glory (Youth)'s solo yellow card. This could possibly suggest a lack of discipline on Floreat Athena FC’s end, which may have affected their overall playing style and focus.

The timing of each yellow card also plays a significant role in the overall match analysis. Floreat Athena FC saw their first yellow card in the first half, at 00:31:24. The second, third, and fourth yellow card happened at 00:48:45, 01:34:40, and 01:11:19 respectively. The second half yellow cards, particularly the one at 01:11:19, almost align with the timing of Perth Glory (Youth)'s goal. It could suggest a correlation between Floreat Athena FC’s itchy trigger finger on fouls and their vulnerability in the defence, leading to the conceded goal. It could also suggest that their effort was focused more on defensive actions rather than creating scoring chances.

On the contrary, Perth Glory (Youth) kept a cleaner record with a single yellow card at 00:40:05. The negligible disciplinary actions potentially gave Perth Glory (Youth) an upper hand, providing them with a better player on field advantage and less interruption in their gameplay.

In conclusion, despite the game being a low scoring affair, it demonstrated how discipline, defensive planning and timing play crucial roles in deciding the game outcome. The single goal achieved by Perth Glory (Youth) and minimal disciplinary actions they faced as compared to Floreat Athena FC, illuminates how control and precision lead the way. For Floreat Athena FC, notwithstanding an aggressive approach, their lack of discipline and inability to convert opportunities into goals proved costly.
