Coverage:

In the NWSL - Women fixture held on 15 October 2023, Racing Louisville (Wom) performed exceptionally to secure a 2-1 victory at San Diego Wave FC's home ground. Despite some tactical attempts by the Wave FC, the 68% possession didn't translate into more goals as compared to Louisville's less frequent, but effective control of the ball at just 32% possession.

Racing Louisville had a total of 9 goal attempts out of which they managed to successfully convert two into goals demonstrating a potent offensive side. On the other hand, Wave FC with 5 goal attempts found the back of the net only once. The disparity in shots on target was palpable in the match as well, with Louisville managing an impressive 5 shots on target, compared to the home team's 2, despite having lower possession.

Wave FC's goalkeeper had a busy day with a total of 4 saves compared to her opposite number, who only made one save throughout the match. This shows Louisville's higher efficiency in front of the goal and the relentless pressure they mounted on the opposing goalkeeper.

Last but not least, even though Wave FC had a higher rate of completed passes (86%) compared to Louisville's 71%, the home team couldn't capitalize on them effectively. Their failure to convert higher possession and passes into successful goals was a significant factor in their defeat.

In terms of fair play, neither of the clubs received any yellow or red cards. Wave FC committed more fouls (12), compared to Racing Louisville's 8, pointing at their inability, perhaps, to retain composure under pressure. The game also saw a total of 7 offsides, with 4 attributed to Wave FC and 3 to Louisville, suggesting reasonably high attempts at pushing forward.

In terms of set-pieces, San Diego Wave FC managed to win more corner kicks (7) than Racing Louisville (5). However, they failed to make the most of these opportunities by turning them into goals.

Summing up, Racing Louisville was the more efficient team on the day with fewer possessions but more shots on target, combined with effective conversion of fewer goal attempts into actual goals. While Wave FC can draw some positives from their possession and passing game, their inability to translate them into substantive results led to their defeat. This match proves yet again that possession without penetration is of little value, as what ultimately impacts the match outcome is converting the opportunities into goals.
