In this tightly contested USL League One match, Spokane Velocity FC edged out a narrow victory over Richmond Kickers Chesterfield with a solitary goal. The decisive goal came in the second half, early on, marking a strategic advantage gained by Spokane thanks to their early offensive push. Richmond's inability to respond and equalize highlighted their shortcomings in breaking down Spokane's defense under pressure.

From a statistical perspective, Spokane's dominance in terms of corner kicks, totaling eight, starkly contrasted with Richmond's mere two, showcasing Spokane's persistent offensive threats. Despite conceding more fouls, Richmond failed to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, a crucial factor that deprived them of potential scoring chances.

Disciplinary issues also played a significant role, with Spokane collecting four yellow cards compared to Richmond's two. Spokane's aggressive approach could have backfired, yet Richmond did not leverage this to tilt the momentum in their favor. Both teams managed to keep a full lineup on the pitch, as no red cards were issued, but the frequency and timing of the fouls disrupted the flow of Richmond's game more significantly than Spokane's, stifling their attacking rhythm.
