In the US Open Cup clash on May 11, 2023, Birmingham Legion FC delivered a top-notch performance against their rivals, Memphis 901 FC, with a decisive 3-0 victory on their home ground. Statistically, they were a cut above, scoring goals with accuracy and precision which reflected notably in the match outcome.

Birmingham Legion FC showed their dominance over the game from the first half itself, scoring their first goal just 38 minutes and 49 seconds into the match to take an early lead. The home side took advantage of this momentum and followed with a second goal in the 19th minute, building a 2-0 lead that took them into halftime with a distinct advantage. A third goal ensued in the second half at 63 minutes 43 seconds, asserting Birmingham's authority on the match and practically putting the game beyond the reach of Memphis 901 FC.

While the away team made more attempts at goal with four corner kicks compared to the home team's two, they failed to capitalize on these opportunities. Both the teams committed offside once, indicating their aggressive play. However, Memphis' offense seemed to dampen due to their lack of teamwork and precision as they failed to score any goals.

The discipline was another factor that played into Birmingham Legion FC's hands. Birmingham incurred just one yellow card in the second half (at 80th minute), showcasing a disciplined approach. Memphis, however, seemed to have lost their cool, earning two yellow cards—one in the first half (13 minutes, 41 seconds) and the other towards the later part of the second half (90 minutes, 56 seconds). These penalties marred Memphis’s rhythm and affected their overall game strategy negatively.

In conclusion, this match between Birmingham Legion FC and Memphis 901 FC demonstrated the efficiency of Birmingham as they capitalized on scoring opportunities while maintaining discipline throughout the game. The early scoring, disciplined approach, and capitalization of opportunities proved to be the deciding factors in Birmingham’s victory. On the other hand, Memphis 901 FC's failure to convert their opportunities and maintain discipline on the field became their Achilles’ heel, keeping them off the scoreboard.
