This NPL Western Australia match between the Perth Glory (Youth) and Perth RedStar FC on 18th May 2024 was indeed an engaging display of football, which illuminated the Glory's (Youth) superiority, demonstrated by their 3-1 victory.

Perth Glory had a high number of shots on target, reaching a total of seven compared to RedStar's 4, which certainly had an impact on the scoring pattern. The Glory's explosive offense frequently penetrated RedStar's defense, and their shot count only emphasizes their relentless dominance in this match.

However, the Glory wasn't solely superior in the upfront, but their defensive prowess cannot be overlooked. The Glory's goalkeeper made three crucial saves, denying RedStar additional goals that could have shifted the match's momentum. On the other side, the RedStar's goalkeeper was slightly busier with four saves, due to Glory's constant threat on his goal.

When it came to physicality, the match was fairly clean and disciplined, as indicated by the complete absence of yellow and red cards on both sides. However, the away team committed slightly more fouls (6) than the home team, these minor infringements, in particular, hindered RedStar's rhythm and handed slight advantage to the Glory.

The difference in corner kicks (4 for Glory and 2 for RedStar) may seem insignificant but can be an accurate measure of the dominance Glory had in the game, as it often reflects teams' attacking ability and territorial advantage. Glory were more proactive in creating goal-scoring opportunities, forcing their opponents to kick the ball out of play in defense more often.

In terms of offside, both teams were caught offside, Glory once and RedStar twice, indicating a high line of defense employed by both teams and the continuous search for depth in attack, trying to exploit spaces behind defensive backs.

Overall, this game was a display of why Perth Glory (Youth) deserved the win. They dominated the match both defensively and offensively, outmatching Perth RedStar FC in key game statistics like shots on target, goalkeeper saves, and corner kicks, which inevitably resulted in a higher goal count and consequently, a victory.
