In the end, the US Open Cup did not disappoint as Miami United FC clinched the victory at home against Club de Lyon with a 3-2 scoreline in an engrossing encounter on the 3rd of April.

Miami United FC showcased a solid performance with a higher number of goals, assists, and shots on target. With a total of 8 shots finding the target, as compared to Club de Lyon's 5, it is clear that Miami's offence was in top gear. There were a total of 15 shots attempted by Miami, suggesting that they held the lion's share of possession and were consistently threatening their opposition.

Merits also ought to be given to Miami's goalkeeper, who made 3 crucial saves, demonstrating how well the team was synchronised, with both the offence and defense in commendable form. Furthermore, the home team's 5 assists compared to the away team's two proves that they were moving and communicating effectively as a team in the attacking third.

Deserving accolades, as well, is Miami's tactical decision-making, demonstrated by the superior number of substitutions that played a crucial part in retaining their lead. With 3 substitutions, in contrast to Lyon's 2, Miami was better able to manage their squad's stamina and strategically alter the dynamics of their gameplay to stay ahead.

Although Miami United appears to have been aggressive in their approach, posing a constant threat to the opposition, this aggression was reflected in the number of fouls committed, with a count of 12 to Lyon's 9. Considering this, it is indeed impressive that the team didn't earn any yellow or red cards, showing effective control over their aggression.

On the other side, Club de Lyon struggled to keep pace, especially offensively. With fewer shots on target and a lower goal tally, it is evident that their attack was less effective. They were successful in making fewer faults and getting caught offside only once, but it was not enough to secure the win.

In conclusion, this match was a victory well earned for Miami United FC. Their offensive superiority and strategic use of substitutions clearly paid off, allowing them to overcome Club de Lyon. Conversely, Club de Lyon's lackluster offensive and fewer strategic alterations fell short, sealing their fate in this contest. It was an exciting, high-performance game overall that promises much for the future matches of the US Open Cup.
