The clash between Auckland FC II and Auckland United FC culminated in a 2-1 victory for the away team in the Northern League. Critical to Auckland United FC's success was their aggressive forward play which led to two goals scored in the second half. The first goal at the 49th minute set the tempo for Auckland United, and efficiently capitalizing on their offensive pressure was a defining factor in seizing an early lead.

Statistically, Auckland United FC's ability to convert more corners into threats was notable. With 7 corner kicks compared to Auckland FC II's 3, they had more opportunities to create scoring chances from set-pieces. This advantage directly contributed to their second goal in the 67th minute, further solidifying their control of the game. Though Auckland FC II managed a goal in the 74th minute, it was insufficient as their fewer attacking opportunities limited any further impact.

Discipline played a part, with Auckland United FC accumulating three yellow cards — an indication of strained defensive efforts. While this aggressive approach didn't cost them a player, it reflected the pressure Auckland FC II began to apply late in the match. Despite these pressured moments, Auckland FC II failed to exploit this aggressive approach of their opponents fully, highlighting a disparity in disciplined execution versus Auckland United FC's more opportunistic play.
