In the NWSL Women's match that took place on the 13th of April 2024, the Portland Thorns put up a remarkable performance to defeat the North Carolina Courage by 3 goals to 2. The statistical analysis provides insight into the performance of both teams and the crucial factors that determined the outcome of the match.
When breaking down the game, the Portland Thorns showed more quality in front of goal. Although both teams each had 10 shots, the Thorns had a superior conversion rate, scoring three goals from their 11 shots on target, compared to the Courage who could only net two times from their seven shots on target. The Thorns also had slightly more shots off target with 5 compared to the Courage's 3, further indicating their offensive dominance.
Evidence of the Thorns' highly efficient attack comes from the fact that they secured three assists - one for each goal scored. The North Carolina Courage also managed to achieve two assists, however, was unable to convert as effectively as their opponents in front of the target.
The goalkeeping performance was also noteworthy. The Courage's goalkeeper kept them in the game with an impressive six saves, compared to the Thorns' goalkeeper who made 4 saves. Despite this, the Thorns' offense managed to break through and secure the win.
Another significant factor was the number of fouls committed by each team. North Carolina Courage fouled their opponents 12 times compared to 10 fouls committed by Portland Thorns. This gave the Thorns more opportunities to counter-attack, capitalizing on these chances, and using them to their advantage.
While both sides utilized all three of their substitutions, neither team was given a yellow or red card, that kept the game flow more fluid with no interruption potentially detrimental to either side. Both teams showed discipline and focused on their performance.
The game was closely contested in terms of corner kicks and offsides, with the Thorns slightly edging the Courage 5-4 and 3-2 respectively. These statistics suggest that the match was indeed a heated battle with each side pushing the other.
In conclusion, the defining factors of the game were the Thorns's more effective shooting accuracy and the capitalized opportunities due to fouls from the Courage. The Courage's goalkeeper did a commendable job, but ultimately the Thorns' efficient attack overpowered their defense. The match had intense competition, but superior conversion and stronger offensive performance by the Portland Thorns made the difference in the outcome.
