In the recent NPL Northern NSW match between Cooks Hill United FC and Edgeworth Eagles FC, the former emerged victorious with a solid 2-1 result. Despite the goal margin being quite tight, a dissection of the key stats from the match shows that Cooks Hill were able to implement an effective game strategy that gave them the decisive edge.

Cooks Hill netted two goals in quick succession during the second half - within four minutes of each other (from 01:12:00 to 01:16:00). This back-to-back scoring effectively dismantled the Edgeworth defense, which had until then been staunch. It indeed speaks a lot about Cooks Hill's attacking prowess and superior on-field coordination.

Edgeworth Eagles' solitary goal came early in the second half (at 00:58:00), but they were unable to take advantage of their early score, falling short to Cooks Hill’s subsequent scorings.

Interesting to note the difference in Corner kicks between the two teams. Edgeworth Eagles FC had more Corner kicks (7) compared to Cooks Hill United FC's 3. Usually, more corner kicks provide more scoring opportunities, but this wasn't the case for the Eagles, indicating Cooks Hill's commendable defense in restricted areas.

On the disciplinary front, it was Cooks Hill that faced the brunt, racking up two Yellow cards compared to none for the Edgeworth Eagles. However, neither team faced an expulsion as there were no Red cards issued in the match.

One statistic where the Cooks Hill notably excelled was Offsides. They had drawn the Edgeworth Eagles defense into offside traps five times. Edgeworth, on the other hand, only managed to return this favor thrice. These offside statistics reflect the level of tactical astuteness in Cooks Hill's gameplay, helping them maintain defensive stability while causing significant disruption in Edgeworth's attacking strategies.

In conclusion, the match showed Cooks Hill United FC's robust defensive strategies and impeccable coordination in their attacking play. Even though Edgeworth Eagles FC had more corner kicks and maintained a clean disciplinary record, they couldn't leverage these advantages into a match-winning performance. Instead, the key determining factor was how Cooks Hill United FC managed a compact defense, led a strategic attack, and capitalized on their scoring opportunities which propelled them to victory.
