In the third match of the USL Championship on 24 June 2023 between Hartford Athletic and Indy Eleven, it was quite clear from the start that Hartford Athletic carried the offensive energy, reflected in their 9 corner kicks compared to Indy Eleven's 3. However, this energy, unfortunately, did not translate into goals, ending the match with a 2-0 victory in favor of Indy Eleven.

Indy Eleven certainly capitalized on their shots, scoring twice. The visiting team opened their account in the beginning of the second half, and Hartford Athletic, though making strategic substitutions and increased corner opportunities, couldn't capitalize to make a comeback. Indy Eleven's solid defense strategy surely impacted Hartford Athletic's attempt to equalize. Indy Eleven’s clincher that solidified their victory came in the last few minutes of the match with their second goal.

What's notable about this game was not just the goals, but also the discipline issues, as evidenced by the number of yellow cards awarded. Indy Eleven received an especially high number of five yellow cards. However, despite these infractions, they employed a successful strategy, maintaining their lead without succumbing to a sending off, which would have left them with only 10 men on the field.

The match concluded with a total of eleven fouls, with Indy Eleven just slightly more aggressive on the pitch, committing 6 fouls to Hartford Athletic's 5. This might have exhibited Indy Eleven's controlled aggression, which successfully kept Hartford Athletic from getting into their scoring stride.

To summarize, despite Hartford Athletic claiming more corner kicks and fewer fouls, they ended without any goals, revealing that the number of corners isn't always indicative of the game's outcome. Likewise, Indy Eleven, despite having fewer chances from corners and more fouls than their opponents, demonstrated a stellar defensive performance and efficient form when provided an opportunity. The key to their victory was their ability to convert their chances and maintain that lead, showing that, at the end of the day, it's the team that can sustain pressure and capitalize on opportunities that carries the day.
