In this anticipated USL Championship match, North Carolina FC hosted Rhode Island FC. The home team managed to clinch the victory, with a final score of 2-1. Despite Rhode Island FC putting up a notable effort, North Carolina FC demonstrated superior team performance to secure the win.

One of the main statistical highlights in this game was the number of goalkeeper saves, where North Carolina FC's goalkeeper saved 6 out of 7 on-target shots by Rhode Island FC, while the away team's goalkeeper could only manage to make 2 saves out of 4 on-target attempts by the home team. This differential in the goalkeeper performance significantly influenced the outcome of the game.

Interestingly, Rhode Island FC had more shots on target and more corner kicks, at 7 and 6 respectively, compared to North Carolina FC's 4 and 3. However, they were not able to convert these opportunities into more goals.

North Carolina FC on the other hand, managed to maximise the conversion of less on-target attempts, scoring twice from four on-target shots. One very crucial aspect of their win appears to be in their efficiency and effectiveness in the final third.

Regarding fouls, both teams had a fair play attitude during the match. Neither team saw any yellow or red cards, and the number of fouls was relatively low for both teams, with North Carolina FC committing 5 fouls compared to Rhode Island FC's 6.

Substitutions were also evenly matched, with both teams making 3 substitutions during the course of the match. The number of offsides was slightly more for Rhode Island FC at 4, compared to 2 by North Carolina FC, which could suggest some impatience on Rhode Island's part to capitalise on their chances.

The detailed analysis reveals that despite more shots on target and corner kicks, Rhode Island FC could not resonate their chances into a winning outcome. North Carolina FC, on the other hand, with better goalkeeper performance and effective usage of fewer chances, led to their victory.
