In a thrilling Olympic Games women's football match between Canada and New Zealand, Canada emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. The home team's performance was significantly uplifted by their composure and offensive pressure. Statistical data highlighted their six corner kicks compared to New Zealand's two, indicating a more sustained attacking presence in the opponent's half.

The match saw an early breakthrough by New Zealand, who scored at 12:15 in the first half. However, Canada showcased their defensive resilience by subsequently neutralizing New Zealand’s offensive threats, limiting them to minimal shots on target for the rest of the game. Canada's equalizing goal at 48:13 in the first half and their eventual go-ahead goal at 78:48 in the second half reversed the game's momentum.

The teamwork and tactical discipline of the Canadian squad were evident not only through their comeback but also through their spatial awareness and fewer offsides, with only one compared to none for New Zealand. Moreover, despite receiving the sole yellow card of the match, Canada's defensive discipline contributed to maintaining their lead.

In comparison, New Zealand's efforts fell short primarily due to their inability to capitalize on their early lead and limited offensive incursions evident by their mere two corner kicks. The statistical factors underscore Canada’s superior teamwork, effective corner kick utilization, and strategic offensive maneuvers as crucial influences on the match outcome.
