It is fair to say that a 3-2 loss is frustrating, even more so when you give up a 2-0 lead. FC Dallas did enough offensively to put itself in a position to win in North Carolina on Saturday night. They scored twice, generated a solid amount of chances, while Petar Musa and Logan Farrington both found the back of the net.
But Charlotte FC’s ability to create chances, especially late in the match, overwhelmed the big positives on the night for FC Dallas.
Let’s dive into the numbers to see how things stacked up from this disappointing loss.
xG Battle/Attacking numbers
For much of Saturday night’s match, FC Dallas appeared to be doing exactly what it needed to do offensively. Petar Musa scored his 19th goal of the season, Logan Farrington added his 10th, and Dallas built a solid two-goal advantage in the first hour of the match.
But as the match progressed, Charlotte began taking control and eventually turned the game on its head in route to a 3-2 victory.
The attacking numbers tell an interesting story. Dallas had its moments, took them, but Charlotte ultimately generated more opportunities, applied greater pressure, and made the most of its chances when the game was on the line.
