In reviewing statistics from the September 3rd USL Championship match between El Paso Locomotive FC and Monterey Bay Union, it's clear that the match was full of intensity and strategic play, which affected the final outcome. Despite El Paso Locomotive FC’s impressive 10 corner kicks and higher aggressive play as evident in the one yellow card, the Monterey Bay Union triumphed 2-1.

Examining the goals scored, El Paso Locomotive scored their solitary goal in the second half taking an initial lead of 1-0. On the other hand, Monterey Bay Union rallied behind and managed to put two behind the net. The information regarding the timing of Monterey Bay’s goals and whether they were a result of open play or set pieces isn't available in the dataset provided. However, given the final score, they were certainly efficient with their attacking opportunities, despite having only one corner kick compared to El Paso's ten.

El Paso Locomotive dominated corner kick stats, with a whopping ten against Monterey Bay’s one. While corner kicks don’t always directly correlate to goals, it does highlight the offensive pressure El Paso was able to exert throughout the match. However, their inability to convert these opportunities into goals could point towards a lack of proficiency during set-pieces or possibly a commendable defensive performance by Monterey Bay.

The only disciplinary action in the match was a second half yellow card for El Paso Locomotive, signaling a relatively clean and fair game with no red cards for either team. However, their lone yellow card suggests that they might have played more aggressively, but, unfortunately, could not capitalize on this energy.

From the given statistics, Monterey Bay Union’s efficiency in scoring against their opportunities seems to have been the most significant factor in their victory. Despite El Paso’s dominant display in corners and aggressive gameplay, the Union turned their limited chances into goal scoring opportunities.

Overall, the game showed that possession and pressure in the form of corner kicks doesn't always equate to victories, a key insight for bettors. It's all about making the most of each opportunity, as demonstrated by the Monterey Bay’s prowess in their 2-1 victory over El Paso Locomotive FC.
