In the game played on October 8, 2023, between Las Vegas Lights FC and Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in the USL Championship, the visiting team, Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, prevailed with a one-goal margin, ending the game with a 3-2 win.

The game was highly competitive and evenly paced as depicted by the similar statistics on both ends—each team secured 3 corners and received 3 yellow cards. However, it was the more effective utilization of ball possession and shot accuracy that reigned supreme for Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.

Harking back to first half, Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC initiated the scoring with a goal within 00:40:51 minutes of the game. Despite the early setback, Las Vegas Lights FC clearly came prepared to put up a fight in the second half. They managed to equalise the score at 1-1 within 00:47:23 minutes into the second half.

But the joy was short-lived for the home team, as Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC accelerated their attack and added two more goals within a span of fifteen minutes (at 00:57:20 and 01:01:42 respectively). Despite another goal by Las Vegas Lights FC at 01:16:51, they failed to close the deficit, giving the away team a 3-2 victory.

One factor that had a significant impact on the outcome of the match was the timing of the yellow cards. The away team received their yellow cards (at 01:04:04 and 01:04:03) nearly simultaneous to their scoring, which suggests the team's aggressive pushing forward caused them to run afoul of the ref's rules. However, they were able to maintain their lead in spite of this.

Comparatively, Las Vegas Lights FC's yellow cards came in the later stages of the second half, reducing their attacking potential and their ability to successfully turn the tables. With the third yellow card received at 01:34:22, dented their comeback plans, and they were unable to score further.

Final assessment of the game reveals an edge in terms of converting opportunities to goals for Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. It is evident that both teams played aggressively as noted from the equal number of corners and yellow cards. However, the better execution and timing of striking, particularly in the second half, enabled Colorado Springs to emerge victorious in a game of otherwise quite equal statistics.
