The digit battle at MLS on March 23, 2024, 23:30 EEST between Charlotte FC and Columbus Crew concluded with a score of 2-1. The performance of both teams was impressive, showing a high level of professionalism, demonstrating their commitment and drive, which was reflected in close statistics.

Bearing a closer look, however, the victory of Charlotte FC can only be well explained by the raw data. The home team managed to make 2 goals in the match on 6 shots on target, contrast to Columbus Crew, who only managed to rack up 1 goal on 5 on-target attempts. In that regard, the superior conversion rate of Charlotte FC was obviously a significant factor determining the final outcome.

Moreover, looking at Charlotte FC's assists, while they equal Columbus Crew's with 1 each, given the home team had fewer Shots on target, it denotes a higher team play efficiency and effectiveness on the part of the winning team.

In terms of the defense, both teams goalkeeper's performed spectacularly, each racking up 4 saves. Although, Charlotte FC did show a higher ball possession skill as reflected in the lower number of shots off target (3 vs. 4 by Columbus Crew), and lower offsides only 1 compared to 2 of Columbus Crew. The difference in corner kicks (4 for the home team and 2 the away team) also points towards a more controlled game by Charlotte FC.

Even though Charlotte FC committed more fouls (9 to 7), they kept the game clean in terms of discipline, with no yellow or red cards throughout the match. This allowed more continuity in the home team's game plan, taking full advantage of the 3 substitutions to keep the team dynamic fresh and strategically arranged.

The overall takeaway was that Charlotte FC managed to exert more control, with a superior conversion rate and a slightly tighter defensive line taking them a long way to a well-deserved victory. The statistical data points towards this conclusion and leaves us with excitement for their future matches. The Columbus Crew, notwithstanding the defeat, showed great strength and potential that shouldn't be underestimated in the future games.
