From the aforementioned statistics, it's clear that the match between New York City FC and DC United held on 20th April 2024 was a closely contested affair, packed with tactical brilliance and exceptional performances.

New York City FC was the more dominant side, observing 8 shots on target, compared to DC United's 6. Their finishing was superior, asserting 25% of Shots on target converted into goals, while DC United could manage to convert only 16.67% of their shots on target into goals. This clearly highlights that New York City FC's attacking unit had a more penetrating impact on the game ultimately contributing to their victory.

Despite the fact DC United conjured more corner kicks with a tally of 9 against New York City FC's 7, they could not capitalize on those opportunities given the lack of assists which accounted for no goals derived from set-pieces.
