Looking at the data from the closely contested USL League One fixture held on 18 May 2024 between Richmond Kickers Chesterfield and Greenville Triumph SC, a number of key areas arise which contributed to the 1-2 defeat of the home side.

Richmond Kickers Chesterfield demonstrated good control of the game with 6 shots on target compared to Greenville Triumph SC’s 8, but failed to convert these opportunities into goals. The lack of efficiency in front of the target was also underscored by 5 missed shots, compared to Greenville's 4. However, Greenville Triumph SC was slightly better at capitalizing on their opportunities, which played a major role in them securing the victory.

The home side showed a higher level of aggression which brought them 12 fouls compared to the away side’s 10. Although this didn’t affect the result directly as per the cards received, it showcases the pressing game carried out by Richmond that unfortunately didn’t disrupt Greenville's game as planned.

Despite having more corner kicks (3 versus Triumph SC's 2), Richmond Kickers Chesterfield couldn't turn this advantage into a higher score. Additionally, both teams took advantage of the three substitutions allowed to try and influence the game.

The role of goalkeepers should also not be under-emphasized. With 6 saves to their credit, the Greenville Triumph SC goalkeeper was kept busier, but his performance was instrumental in maintaining the slender lead the away team secured.

In summary, the goals reflect Greenville Triumph SC’s better precision and goalkeeper performance, despite the Richmond Kickers Chesterfield's determined attacking play. The key difference came down to the effectiveness in front of the net and better use of shots on target by Greenville Triumph SC.
