This MLS clash between DC United and Toronto FC was filled with action. The competitive spirit was displayed with 22 fouls committed overall, 12 by DC United and 10 by Toronto FC. However, despite the rough play, the discipline from both teams was impressive, with no yellow or red cards shown in the match.

DC United demonstrated greater on-target goal attempts with 7 on-target shots compared to Toronto FC's 3. This translated into more work for Toronto's goalkeeper, who made an impressive 5 saves as compared to DC United's keeper with 2. However, the higher number of attempts fell in DC United's favor as they managed to score 2 goals against Toronto’s 1.

Despite the lesser number of on-target shots from Toronto, they had more off-target attempts, which amounted to 5 as opposed to DC United's 3, demonstrating the higher risk-taking from Toronto.

Both teams were very active in attacking plays, making good use of their corner kicks, with DC United taking one more than Toronto with 5. There wasn't much difference in the offside count either, with DC United having one and Toronto just one more.

The number of substitutions also revealed strategies from both sides. DC United used all permitted substitutions, thereby exploiting fresh legs to gain a strategic advantage over Toronto, which might have been the game-changer.

In summary, this match was largely dominated by DC United, in terms of offensive play as evident from the number of on-target shots, goals, and assists. Toronto FC’s goalkeeper did put in a commendable effort, though the greater offensive pressure from DC United eventually proved to be too overwhelming. A key factor to DC United’s success was their strategic usage of substitutions, which seemed to provide the freshness and tactical leverage needed. Despite the close run, DC United was able to secure their victory with a 2-1 scoreline.
