In a robust display of offensive ingenuity and tactical acumen, New Mexico United emerged triumphant over Real Salt Lake in this US Open Cup fixture with a score of 3-1.

The striking disparity between the number of shots on target for both teams was the most significant indicator of New Mexico United's dominance. They managed 7 shots on target against Real Salt Lake's paltry return of 3, establishing offensive superiority. But what's more, in delivering 3 goals from these shots, New Mexico United displayed an impressive conversion rate, far outpacing their rivals.

Holding their defensive line immensely well, New Mexico United went offside only once through the whole game, indicating their discipline in holding their runs and timing their forward movements, while Real Salt Lake were caught offside twice- suggesting their struggles with the coordination of their attacking play.

On the other end of the pitch, New Mexico United's goalkeepers made 2 crucial saves, both of which assisted in maintaining the team's dominance over Real Salt Lake, whose goalkeeper managed 4 saves against the stellar attacking onslaught from New Mexico United.

The home side's composure was on full display as they committed fewer fouls (10 compared to Real Salt Lake's 9) and were not carded throughout the game. This disciplinary professionalism contributed significantly to their cohesively structured play.

In terms of corner kicks, New Mexico United utilized these set pieces well, earning themselves 5 corners to Salt Lake's 3, which only furthered their opportunities to test the opposition's defense.

Despite the home and away teams making the same number of substitutions (3 each), New Mexico United displayed superior tactical adjustments which evidently caused more problems for Real Salt Lake, resulting in a definite victory for the home side.

In conclusion, the match displayed New Mexico United's superior tactical discipline, both offensively and defensively, as well as their better utilization of set-pieces and substitutions. It was these factors, underscored by their higher number of shots on target and lesser offsides that ultimately decided the outcome of this game.
