Based on the statistical data provided, it is evident that the match was relatively balanced but with New York City FC edging out New England Revolution marginally in a few key aspects, which consequently led to them securing a 2-1 win.

In assessing the critical factors that influenced the match's outcome, the number of shots on target stands out. With 7 shots on target compared to New England’s 5, New York City FC were more clinically accurate, highlighting their superior attacking display. The effectiveness of their offensive strategy is further accentified by the fact that the New England's goalkeeper was forced into making 6 saves as opposed to the New York goalkeeper who made 4 saves.

In terms of control and offensive opportunities, New York City FC also had the edge over the New England Revolution, registering one more corner at 3 to 2. This signifies their superior ability to press high and create goalscoring opportunities, eventually converting two of them into actual goals.

However, New England Revolution showed respectable defensive discipline, registering only a single foul to New York's three. Despite making 3 substitutions, one more than New York City FC, it was not enough to change the dynamics of the match.

Discipline wise, the game was clean with no red cards, and surprisingly no yellow cards. It was a well-contested game with relatively low offsides committed by each team, both recording only 1 and 2 offsides respectively.

In conclusion, while both teams showcased impressive control and discipline, the overall match outcome was largely influenced by New York City FC's efficiency and accuracy in their attacks. Despite the goalkeeper's saves and fewer fouls by New England Revolution, the critical performance difference was highlighted by shots on target and the eventual conversion into goals by New York City FC.
