In the US Open Cup encounter between Charleston Battery and Charlotte Independence, held on 25 April 2023, Charleston emerged as victorious with a narrow win of 1-0 over Charlotte.

Charleston's offensive game was noticeable with a total of 10 shots attempted, of which 60% were accurate shots on target. Although they had fewer corner kicks (3) compared to Charlotte(4), they effectively turned their one assist into a successful goal. This is somewhat reflective of their precision in converting opportunities. They also managed to catch Charlotte in an offside trap three times that halted their advance.

Having said that, Charlotte had a commendable defense, as evidenced by their goalkeeper who made 5 crucial saves, two more than his Charleston Battery counterpart. They seemed to keep their discipline as they didn't incur any yellow or red cards but suffered due to insufficient shots on target. From a total of 11 shots, only 27% were on target, highlighting their inefficiency in converting their chances.

One should note that Charleston Battery had to defend rigorously, committing 10 fouls compared to 8 by Charlotte. Their defense stood firm, however, as they only conceded one assist and managed to successfully save three direct shots on target.

The substitutes did not have significant impacts from either side. Charleston used two while Charlotte made three substitutions, but the scoreline remained unchanged, showcasing the depth and quality of Charleston's squad.

In conclusion, Charleston Battery's superior shot accuracy and efficient conversion rate proved to be the pivotal factor for their victory despite Charlotte Independence's stronger defense and discipline. They successfully contained Charlotte's offensive pressure, evident from the higher number of saves made by Charlotte's goalkeeper, and capitalized on the scoring opportunity provided by their single assist. Moreover, the effective management of offsides and fouls contributed to Charleston Battery's defense, solidifying their 1-0 victory.
