Rhode Island FC's narrow 1-0 victory over Charleston Battery was a testament to their defensive resilience and capitalizing on key opportunities. The only goal of the match came in the second half, at 01:09:27, which was a result of persistent pressure and a critical breakthrough following a tense first half. Despite not having any corner kicks, Rhode Island managed to make the most of their goal-scoring opportunity, highlighting their efficient finishing.

Defensively, Rhode Island maintained a robust stance, committing nine fouls compared to Charleston's three. This aggressive approach, although risky, disturbed Charleston’s offensive rhythm and allowed Rhode Island to regain possession frequently. Despite receiving three yellow cards, two just before halftime and one early in the second half, Rhode Island skillfully avoided conceding any red cards, maintaining their full squad on the pitch.

Charleston Battery, on the other hand, struggled to break through Rhode Island's disciplined defense. With only two corner kicks and far fewer fouls, Charleston appeared less aggressive, which may have limited their offensive pressure. Their single yellow card in the second half indicates a less intense physical engagement compared to their opponents. Ultimately, Rhode Island’s ability to control the game tempo and disrupt Charleston's play proved decisive in securing the win.
