The game between the Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC which took place on the 27th of November 2023 was a tight affair with LAFC coming away as the winners with a narrow 1-0 victory, despite Sounders having dominated the set pieces.

The LAFC were swift and purposeful as indicated by their early goal which came at the 30th minute of the first half. The Sounders may have been caught off guard by the early strike considering that they picked up their first of three yellow cards at the 19th minute and a second at the 39th minute, indicating some defensive struggle on their end.

The yellow cards continued into the second half with the Sounders receiving their third at the 66th minute, while LAFC began picking up their four yellow cards toward the tail end of the game during the 76th, 84th, 89th and 90th minutes. This shows that while the Sounders grappled with defensive issues earlier on, LAFC seemed to have grappled with the same towards the end - a time when tensions in a close match are often highest.

Despite being on the losing end, Seattle Sounders led the charge in corner kicks with a staggering total of 10 compared to LAFC's 2. This suggests that Sounders posed a constant threat on the wings and commanded an aggressive game, forcing LAFC into defensive corners.

However, the Seattle Sounders failed to convert their dominance in corner kicks and possession into goals. This is evident in their failure to find the back of the net despite numerous opportunities, suggesting inefficiencies and a lack of clinical finishing in their forward line.

On the other hand, LAFC, despite having fewer corner kicks opportunities, displayed efficiency by scoring from open play early in the game and maintaining their lead throughout the match. Their defensive solidity, despite picking up 4 yellow cards late in the game, might have been instrumental in them preserving their lead.

Ultimately, though Seattle Sounders dominated the corner kicks and would have enjoyed more possession as a result, it was Los Angeles FC's efficient use of their opportunities and a resilient defensive display that determined the outcome of the match.
