On April 27, 2024, in the NWSL - Women's competition, a match took place between the Chicago Red Stars and the Portland Thorns. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. A comparison of statistics illustrates a stronger offensive performance from the Portland Thorns, but the Chicago Red Stars' defense was vigorous enough to balance the scales, resulting in a shared point.

In the offensive department, Portland Thorns demonstrated precision and calculated risk-taking with six shots on target out of seven attempts, compared to the Red Stars' four from six attempts. However, the Thorns missed a higher percentage of opportunities being offside twice compared to one of the Red Stars. Both teams displayed tactical discipline as no yellow or red cards were issued.

Contrary to the Thorns' effectiveness, the Red Stars seemed to have a proactive game, especially at the back, defending the post more often with the goalkeeper making four crucial saves compared to the visitors' two. Likewise, they earned five corner kicks, which indicates more control over the game and possibly more pressure applied to the Thorns' defense.

Despite committing more fouls (12) than the Thorns (10), the Red Stars did not have to deal with any dangerous set pieces, whereas Portland was able to manage their control and tactical fouling even under constant offensive and defensive pressure from Chicago.

Substitutions made by the teams offer us a glimpse into their strategy: while the home team used all three substitutions, Portland Thorns made only two substitutions. This indicates possible tactical adaptations and fresh legs on the Chicago side, which could explain their ability to stave off Thorns' offensive dominance and ultimately ensure a draw.

To sum up, the statistical data suggest a balance of power in this game. Portland Thorns taking advantage of precision in the striking zone, but the Chicago Red Stars' defensive resilience and tactical adaptability helping them secure a draw in a challenging encounter. As a bettor, insights from such data can help predict the teams' future performances based on their strengths and weaknesses.
