The home team, Charlotte Independence, edged a tightly contested match against visitors Chattanooga Red Wolves SC on 09 September 2023. The statistical data shows a game played closely on all fronts, but Charlotte Independence's excellent finishing gave them the edge in a 3-2 win.

Both teams had high shots on target, with Chattanooga Red Wolves SC edging it with 7 compared to Charlotte's 6. However, Charlotte's clinical finishing resulted in 3 goals from their 6 shots on target. This compared to Chattanooga Red Wolves SC who, despite having more shots on target, scored fewer goals. The home team's goalkeeper was also instrumental in the victory, making 5 crucial saves compared to the away team's 3.

The home team made more use of the flanks as their corner kick stats were higher (5 compared to 3). Plus, they were more aggressive in their gameplay, committing 12 fouls to Chattanooga's 10. The heightened aggression might have disturbed the fluidity of the Red Wolves' game, causing them to miss many chances as evidence by their higher number of shots off target (6) as compared to Charlotte's (4).

Interestingly, offsides did not play a major role as both teams had low numbers, with Chattanooga marginally edging it with 3 compared to Charlotte's 2, indicating a disciplined defensive line from both teams.

In terms of substitutions, both teams utilized their bench by making 3 changes. However, no data was provided regarding the impact of those substitutions, so it's tough to gauge their specific influence on the outcome.

There were no yellow or red cards in the match, an indication that despite the number of fouls, none were considered serious by the match officials.

In conclusion, Charlotte Independence's clinical finishing, coupled with their goalkeeper's impressive performance, was instrumental in their win. Chattanooga Red Wolves SC had taken more shots at goal but their lower conversion rate and failure to capitalize on their higher shots on target cost them the match. Their keeper also let more goals through, making it an influential factor in the game's outcome.
