In the tightly contested CONCACAF Nations League clash between the home team, Puerto Rico, and Antigua and Barbuda, Puerto Rico secured a 3-2 victory. The match was a display of attacking football from both sides, but the home team showed more clinical finishing, a factor that had a significant impact on the match outcome.

Puerto Rico's attacking prowess was evident in their higher number of shots on target (8) compared to Antigua and Barbuda's 5. However, Antigua and Barbuda's goalkeeper had an outstanding performance with 5 saves compared to Puerto Rico's 3 saves, keeping the margin narrow. The efficiency of Puerto Rico's attack is also emphasized by the higher number of goals scored (3) from two assists, indicating a higher conversion rate.

From the perspective of team strategy, Puerto Rico seems to prefer a more attacking style of play, indicated by their higher number of corner kicks (4) compared to Antigua and Barbuda (2). Although both teams had a similar number of shots off target, Puerto Rico's higher number gives an indication of their overall attacking pressure.

Regarding discipline, both teams were well-behaved, with no red or yellow cards issued throughout the match. Puerto Rico committed more fouls (12) than Antigua and Barbuda (10), showing a slightly more aggressive playstyle. Nevertheless, the fair game playing from both sides stands out as a feature of the match.

The use of substitutions gives some insights into the teams' tactical adaptations during the match. Puerto Rico used all three of their allowed substitutions, while Antigua and Barbuda, despite trailing, made only two changes. This could indicate that Puerto Rico's squad depth and freshness of players had an edge over their opponents.

With a total of 3 offside calls in the game, it shows a highly tactical defensive line from both teams and strategic offensive play trying to penetrate the defence.

Overall, Puerto Rico's ability to effectively convert their scoring opportunities and imposing an attacking threat, coupled with strategic use of substitutions, was a major determinant in their victory against Antigua and Barbuda. Despite a commendable performance from Antigua and Barbuda's goalkeeper, their offensive play was not enough to secure a win on the day.
