Gold Coast United (Women) hosted Sunshine Coast Wanderers (Women) in a match that was defined by strategic play and critical moments that tipped the balance in favor of the visitors. Despite Gold Coast dominating in terms of corner kicks, boasting six compared to Sunshine Coast's solitary one, the home side struggled to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. This disparity in corner kicks highlights Gold Coast's aggressive approach and ability to apply pressure, but also underscores their inefficacy in capitalizing on such advantages.

Sunshine Coast Wanderers demonstrated clinical finishing, scoring twice in the second half within a span of 20 minutes. The first goal, scored just moments after the start of the second half, set the tone for their performance and showcased their ability to exploit defensive lapses. The second goal further accentuated their offensive efficiency. The timing of Gold Coast's yellow card shortly after the second Sunshine goal suggests a reactive response to growing frustration as they found themselves slipping behind on the scoreboard.

Gold Coast United pulled one back quickly after the yellow card incident, indicating resilience and a lift in intensity. However, despite this late rally, their earlier inability to translate opportunities into goals was too great an obstacle to overcome. Sunshine Coast Wanderers benefited from a strong defensive organization coupled with tactical substitutions that maintained their lead. The visitors' ability to stay disciplined, as highlighted by only receiving one yellow card in a physical contest, underpinned their success on this occasion.
