The football match, played on 17th September 2023, was a thrilling contest that witnessed a lot of action on both ends of the field, as reflected in the match statistics.

For Memphis, the turning point came after a first half that initially swung in their opposition's favor. Despite taking the lead in the 17th minute, Memphis experienced a strong backlash from Hartford, who scored twice within a span of 10 minutes (25th and 32nd minute) to go into the break leading 2-1.

Furthermore, Memphis was not caught offside even once throughout the match, demonstrating keen spatial awareness and patience.
