The US Open Cup match on 07 May 2024 saw the Pittsburgh Riverhounds hosting the Tulsa Roughnecks FC. Based on the data provided, the match had a closely contested outcome. However, it was the Riverhounds that proved to be the better team on the night, prevailing with a 2-1 victory over the Roughnecks thanks to superior shots on target and critical goalkeeper saves.

At the final whistle, the Riverhounds had totaled 5 shots on target compared to the Roughnecks' 3. This played a critical role in securing their victory. Additionally, the home team's goalkeeper made significantly important saves, notably stopping 2 potential equalizer shots, whilst the Roughnecks' goalkeeper made 3 saves.

The Roughnecks did look threatening, firing 5 shots off the target compared to the Riverhounds' 4 but failed to convert those chances. They only managed to notch 1 goal, despite an assist to match the home team's figure.

Interestingly, the frequency of corner kicks did not produce a significant differentiator for either team. The Riverhounds had a thin edge with 3 corners to their name, against 2 corners for the Roughnecks. Moreover, offsides did not play a big role in this match with 2 for the home team and 1 for the away team.

Foul play was kept under control with a total of 17 fouls committed, 8 by the Riverhounds and 9 by the Roughnecks. Substitutions were identically managed with each team making 3 player swaps. That exhibits the level of strategic parity between the two sides' approaches.

With no red or yellow cards during the match, it's apparent that despite the balance of aggression and passion it was a game played in good spirit and professionalism.

In conclusion, it was the Riverhounds' superior ability to get more shots on target together with their critical goalkeeper saves that played the most decisive role in their win. On the other hand, missed opportunities in terms of shots off target by the Roughnecks proved to be their downfall.
