In this USL Championship match held on the 16th of September, 2023 at 01:00 EEST, New Mexico United hosted Indy Eleven, concluding in a tightly contested encounter that saw New Mexico scrape through with a narrow 3-2 victory.

With New Mexico United scoring their first goal in the second half, it's clear that they managed to break down a diligent Indy Eleven defense post the half-time break. The total of 5 goals and relatively lower count of corner kicks from both the home and away team (5 and 4 respectively) point to the match being more about strategizing and midfield play rather than that of push-and-shove in the box or showing absolutely dominating offense.

However, it's critical to note that the number of yellow cards in the game, 2 for the home team and 3 for the away team, suggests a fairly aggressive contest from both sides. Yet, in spite of the hostility, teams did very well to constrain their aggression to prevent any switches to a red coloration.

What is commendable about Japan's strategy, is that they chose to relentlessly attack in the second half. Against a side, as defensively resolute as Indy Eleven, many teams might have settled into a more cautious approach but New Mexico United continued to force openings and deservedly got the goal.

The intense midfield hustling could have impeded the flow of the match and break many attacking transitions, yet it wasn't the case as both teams focused more on converting their opportunities rather than creating in bulk.

In conclusion, the factors that majorly determined the outcome were the effectively utilized opportunities by New Mexico United and their impactful second-half performance. This coupled with a well-controlled aggressive playing style turned out to be the key for their hard-earned victory against a tough competitor, Indy Eleven.
