In an intense Queensland Premier League 1 match between Surfers Paradise Apollo SC and Wynnum Wolves FC that took place on 17th September 2023, the Wolves managed to snatch a narrow victory with a 1-nil score against Apollo. The solitary goal of the game was scored early in the first half, snugly ten minutes past the game began proving critical in the Wolves' triumph.

While the Apollo dominated the corner kicks count with seven against the Wolves' two, they failed to convert their advantage into a goal. On the contrary, the Wolves were more efficient with their chances, effectively putting the ball into the back of the net from their limited opportunities. Regarding offsides, Apollo came out on top with four compared to the Wolves' single offside, showing more aggressive forward plays by the home team, however, these attempts went in vain as Apollo couldn't turn them into goals.

The game was characterized by strict regulation with a total of 8 yellow cards being issued - three for Apollo and five for the Wolves. It seems clear that the aggressive gameplay resulted in a greater number of fouls. Notably, the frequency of yellow cards increased in the second half with four out of Apollo's five warnings taking place post halftime. Despite the higher card count for Wolves, they managed to maintain a clean sheet, reflecting the remarkable performance by their defense and goalkeeper.

Substitutions were utilized by both teams, though they seemed to have no decisive effect on the game. No players were expelled from the game, as neither team reached the red card threshold.

Apollo’s superior possession of the ball didn't pay off, nor did the team manage to capitalize on their corner kicks. On the other hand, Wynnum Wolves FC exemplified the essence of a well-structured defense, absorbing the pressure, and more importantly, their clinical finishing early in the game provided the much-needed edge. Their game strategy of scoring early and then retaining the lead with a strong defensive play came off, leading them to a significant away victory.

This game is a classic example of the fact that it's not merely possession but efficient utilisation of opportunities that determines the outcome of a match. Despite facing more pressure and receiving a higher number of yellow cards, the Wolves managed to maintain their discipline and hold off Apollo for the rest of the match securing the win.
