In this NPL Western Australia match between Olympic Kingsway SC and Cockburn City SC, we observed a thrilling encounter that resulted in Cockburn City SC emerging as victors with three goals to one.

The away team displayed a great deal of efficiency in front of the goal. Despite the relatively lower possession, they managed to score one goal in the first half and two goals in the second half. The timing of these goals was also crucial, their second goal came just as the second half was starting, giving them an advantage, and their final goal was scored after 70+ minutes into the game.

Olympic Kingsway SC on the other hand managed to score only one goal which came after an hour of play. This single goal, although vital, could not tilt the game in their favor.

A significant factor to note from the match was the corner kicks. The home team had a total of 10 corner kicks, revealing that they had numerous scoring opportunities. On the contrary, Cockburn City SC had zero corners. Olympic Kingsway SC, however, failed to capitalize on these set-piece situations which invariably cost them the match. Their lack of accuracy in converting these chances was a deciding factor in this loss.

Fouls also played a crucial part in the match dynamics. There were more yellow cards drawn by the away team (3) compared to the home team (1). With two yellow cards issued in the first half and one in the second half, it suggested that Cockburn City SC had a slightly aggressive approach. Still, they managed to avoid red cards which would have shifted the balance of the game.

In conclusion, this match was defined by Cockburn City SC's accuracy in front of the goal and Olympic Kingsway SC's missed opportunities from the corner kicks. Cockburn City, despite being on the back foot for a majority of the match, won by taking advantage of crucial moments in the game and their defensive discipline, even though they had more fouls. Olympic Kingsway SC, albeit having more control over the game, couldn't turn their corner chances into goals making it the most impacting factor of the match. A valuable lesson from this game to bettors would be considering not just the territorial control, but the effectiveness of the teams in critical situations.
