Stats in favour of City

The statistics were heavily in favour of Melbourne City tonight.

Four goals to nil is a statement, but the other match statistics show a more telling story.

Melbourne City had 18 shots to Canberra United’s seven.

It’s not only Canberra’s defence that’s struggling, but they also found it extremely difficult to break down Melbourne’s stoic defence.

City had 62% possession and played 200 more passes than their opposition (546 to 334 respectively).

It’s difficult to score goals without having the ball long enough to create attacking chances.

Canberra found themselves down 3-0 in the first half, whilst City haven’t conceded a goal in over 400 minutes.

These statistics show just how good a side Melbourne City really is. They’re going to be hard to beat if they can keep up their goal scoring glory and dazzling defending.
