In the NPL NSW match between Wollongong Wolves FC and Rockdale Ilinden FC, Rockdale dominated with a convincing 3-1 victory. The away team displayed efficient offensive play, scoring three goals, with two in quick succession during the first half. The timing of Rockdale's first-half goals, at 36 and 41 minutes, was crucial in establishing control, effectively putting Wollongong on the back foot early in the game.

Rockdale's defensive tactics were also a factor in their victory, despite accruing three yellow cards, with one in the 41st minute shortly after their second goal. Wollongong managed to capitalize on their set-piece opportunities, amassing seven corner kicks versus Rockdale's six. Nonetheless, they struggled to convert these chances, finding the net only once through a second-half strike at 56 minutes, offering just a glimmer of hope before Rockdale sealed their three-goal lead with a final goal in the 63rd minute.

Defensive discipline, despite Rockdale's three yellow cards, played a notable role in suppressing Wollongong's attacking efforts. Wollongong's singular yellow card indicates a more cautious defensive approach, but it was Rockdale's assertiveness in both offensive and defensive facets that ultimately dictated the course of the match. Rockdale’s tactical edge was evident not just in the scoreline but in their ability to maintain pressure and convert key moments into goals.
