In the USL Championship match on the 2nd of June 2024, Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC edged out Oakland Roots 1-0 in a closely contested encounter. The match, marked with high intensity and robust defense, hinged on a quick goal scored by Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC as early as the 2nd minute of the first half.

The Switchbacks also committed 1 foul, an instance which earned them a yellow card in the 26th minute. The homely discipline continued in the second half, where they maintained clean level-headed play. On the other hand, Oakland Roots showed slight indiscipline recorded with 2 yellow cards - both in the second half at the 45th and 56th minute, despite not committing a single foul. This displays a lack of composure that potentially impeded their performance.

Analyzing the number of attempts, the Oakland Roots had more total shots (13) than the Switchbacks (10), but were off target more frequently, as indicated by their 8 shots off target compared to the Switchbacks' 6. Both teams had a nearly equal number of shots on target, with the Roots recording 5 compared to 4 for the Switchbacks. The Switchbacks' goalkeeper significantly contributed to the team's win with 5 crucial saves, 2 more than the Roots' goalkeeper.

In terms of set-piece opportunities, Oakland Roots had more corner kicks (8) compared to Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC (3), demonstrating a greater attacking presence. However, their inability to convert these opportunities into goals highlighted their lack in the finishing department.

While possession details and pass success rates are not available, indications from offsides (Switchbacks 1 vs Roots 2) and an equal number of substitutions from both sides (3 each), suggest evenly balanced midfield play.

In conclusion, Switchbacks' early goal, disciplined defense, and more accurate shot-making were critical factors that earned them the win. For the Roots, despite controlling more set-piece opportunities, their inability to convert these into goals and some indiscipline marred their chances. Enhancing attack execution and maintaining on-field discipline could be focus areas for them in upcoming matches.
