Forward Madison FC and Spokane Velocity FC engaged in a thrilling encounter that ended 5-4 in favor of the visitors. The game was an attacking spectacle, evidenced by the nine combined goals. Spokane Velocity FC's victory was in part due to their clinical finishing, converting a higher percentage of chances despite fewer corner kicks and fewer overall attacking opportunities compared to their opponents. This efficiency in front of goal was crucial in tipping the balance of a high-stakes match.

Forward Madison FC dominated in terms of corner kicks, earning seven compared to Spokane's two. However, they failed to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, which proved costly. Madison's inability to convert these scenarios into goals was a significant factor in their narrow loss. Their offensive play showcased creativity, but the lack of conversion suggested a need for better precision or variation in their set-piece execution.

Moreover, Spokane Velocity FC's disciplined play during open play, despite accumulating three yellow cards (none of which led to a sending-off), allowed them to maintain defensive solidity. They managed to avoid any disruptions from disciplinary actions, which are often detrimental in close contests. The defensive discipline, save for the booked moments, along with their potent attacking efficiency, were critical ingredients in Spokane's hard-fought away victory.
