In the recent Premier League match-up between Nairobi City Stars and AFC Leopards, it was a closely contested game that finally went in favour of AFC Leopards courtesy of a singular goal. Despite the home team managing to keep the game at a stalemate for the larger part of the match, they were unable to capitalize on opportunities, leaving AFC Leopards with a 1-0 victory.

While the home team Nairobi City Stars did not manage to put any goals on the scoreboard, their defensive play was commendable, especially in the face of nine corner kicks from AFC Leopards. However, the AFC Leopards' aggressive attacking approach did deliver, as they finally managed to breach the City Stars' defence at the 31-minute mark in the first half. This single-shot success rate illustrates a high level of precision from the Leopards.

Looking at the discipline on the ground, it seemed the Nairobi City Stars had some room for improvement. They had accumulated two yellow cards within the first half of the game, demonstrating lapses in their discipline controlled play. On the other hand, AFC Leopards managed to keep their discipline in check, with only one yellow card issued in the second half, indicating their more controlled approach to the game and potentially contributing to their victory.

From a strategic point of view, the Leopards seemed to have leveraged corner kicks effectively. With a total of nine corner kicks, although they didn't translate into multiple goals, it shows a consistent offensive drive and an ability to apply pressure on the opponent’s goalpost, tilting the game in their favour.

However, it’s worth noting that while a single-goal win is a positive result, the Leopards might need to work on their conversion ratio. Their nine corner kicks, resulting in just one goal, could indicate potentially missed opportunities to extend their lead.

In conclusion, a combination of a well-timed offensive approach, disciplined play on the ground, and effective utilisation of set-pieces led to the AFC Leopards edging out the Nairobi City Stars in this match. On the other hand, while City Stars showed strong defence, minor disciplinary issues and misses in opportunity conversion were factors that likely impacted their overall game performance.
