The USL Championship on the 19th June 2024 saw Las Vegas Lights FC and Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC play out a thrilling 3-3 draw. Both teams were evenly matched in terms of fouls, with 11 each. This suggests that the game was defensively rigorous, with both teams persistently breaking opponent's play.

However, the story of the match can’t be understood without considering the corner statistics, with Las Vegas Lights FC holding an 11-6 advantage. This suggests they were the side asserting more consistent pressure, but their execution arguably lacked precision as they failed to convert these opportunities into more goals.

Surprisingly both teams scored the same number of goals (3) though. It was a game of two halves, with the 1st half seeing four goals. Colorado Springs Switchbacks drew first blood at 5:46. Las Vegas Lights FC quickly bounced back to level the game at the 27th minute, but Colorado Springs Switchbacks restored their lead three minutes later. It was not until the final minute of the first half when Vegas found an equalizer to make it 2-2.

The second half saw Vegas take the lead at 79th minute for the first time, but they received a yellow card at 87th minute. Presumably due to a certain level of defensive destabilization, they conceded another goal at 88th minute to ultimately settle for a 3-3 draw.

With three yellow cards to one (in favor of Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC), it's evident that the away team was more aggressive, and their discipline might have cost them this match. Being a man down, even temporarily, can have significant strategic implications, potentially constraining attacking efforts or opening up defensive vulnerabilities.

Although Vegas had a single offside in the game, compared to none for Colorado Springs Switchbacks, there weren't any red cards in the match, indicating a certain degree of discipline in their play, despite the high-intensity skirmish.

All in all, the data seem to paint a picture of a match characterized by relentless attacking, fervent defensive effort, and perhaps a lack of final third precision for Las Vegas Lights FC who seemed more dominant, but couldn't capitalize fully on their advantages.

For the future, Las Vegas Lights might need to concentrate more on converting their set pieces to goals, while the Colorado team needs to focus on increasing their attacking opportunities while also maintaining a better disciplinary record.
