Both teams were evenly matched, with an equal number of offsides (2 each) indicating similar levels of attacking ambition.
Sutherland Sharks got off to a flying start, scoring their first goal at the 44th minute of the first half. They maintained their statistics-driven aggressive attacking style in the second half, by adding a second goal at the 82nd minute. This early domination is suggested by only 4 corner kicks, indicative of their direct playing style.

They scored their first goal at the 88th minute and netted an equalizer barely 4 minutes later, turning the tides in the closing stages of the game. The team produced an impressive total of 8 corner kicks which suggests dominance in ball retention and field positioning, but indicates a lack of precision in front of goal.
