The NWSL match between Angel City FC and Portland Thorns that took place on 15th October 2023, ended in favor of the home team, Angel City FC, who edged past the Portland Thorns with a 2-1 scoreline. This result can be associated with several statistical factors that were played out during the match.

Firstly, Angel City FC were notably more accurate in their shooting as they converted two of their six shots on target into goals, thus, showing a conversion rate of 33.3%, while the Thorns were only able to manage a conversion rate of 25%. Conversely, the Thorns had more missed chances depicted by their higher number of shots off target (3) compared to Angel City's two missed shots.

Assisting their higher goal tally, Angel City managed to make two assists, showing efficient teamwork and perfect coordination during the buildup of their goals. Meanwhile, Portland Thorns' lower goal tally correlates with their single assist.

Goalkeeping performances showed key differences. Despite the Thorns' keeper making four saves against Angel City FC's goalie's three, they were unable to prevent two crucial goals from being scored. This reflects upon the quality of shots faced by Portland Thorns' goalkeeper.

Secondly, evidence of Angel City FC's assertive play was visible in their higher number of corner kicks (3) as opposed to Portland Thorns' two. They held greater territorial control which increased their chances of scoring.

In terms of discipline, Portland Thorns conceded more fouls (8) compared to the home team's six. Similarly, the away team infringed the offside rule twice, while the home team was only caught out once, suggesting a significant disparity in the teams' discipline levels.

Substitution wise, both teams made equal changes (3), reflecting a similar strategy in terms of squad rotation and utilization of players.

In summary, Angel City FC managed to utilize their chances better with a higher rate of precision and teamwork. The negligible difference in goalkeeper saves and fouls committed, alongside discipline levels highlighted by the number of offsides, ultimately played significant roles in determining the outcome of this closely fought encounter.
