The match between Sydney Olympic FC and Central Coast Mariners Academy was dominantly secured by the home team with a decisive scoreline of 3-0. Sydney Olympic FC opened the scoring early, taking the lead in the first ten minutes, setting the tone for their aggressive and effective play. They extended their advantage in the first half to 2-0, demonstrating superior finishing ability against a seemingly overwhelmed Mariners defense.

Sydney Olympic's offensive prowess was further highlighted by their ability to secure ten corner kicks, compared to the Mariners' eight, indicating a persistent pressure on the visitors' goal. Conversely, Central Coast Mariners struggled to convert their opportunities into tangible results, failing to register a single goal. This was perhaps a reflection of their lack of clinical precision in front of goal and difficulties in breaking down a resolute Sydney Olympic defense.

Despite Sydney Olympic FC's commanding performance, their discipline was somewhat lacking as evidenced by the three yellow cards accumulated in the second half. This could have been a detriment had the Mariners capitalized on set pieces, yet they failed to exploit this vulnerability. While the absence of any cards for the away team indicates composure under pressure, it was not enough to overcome their tactical and technical shortcomings on the day.
