In the 2023 Coupe de France football match between ASM Belfort and Annecy FC on January 22, the game was full of thrilling action that swayed between the two sides before the away team finally managed to win, scoring 5 goals.

Despite the scoreboard reflecting a narrow victory, the game was anything but one-sided. It started favorably for ASM Belfort, who took the lead within the first 10 minutes of the game. However, the initial advantage did not deter Annecy FC, who equalised more than halfway into the second half. They maintained that momentum to surge ahead, even overcoming a penalty situation.

Statistically, ASM Belfort seemed to dominate most parameters except the one that mattered most – the final goal score. Belfort enjoyed more corner opportunities, having six in comparison to Annecy's single corner kick - an aspect that shows that they were more on the offense but seem to have failed in converting these opportunities.

Meanwhile, Annecy FC displayed greater discipline and precise offensive play as reflected by their fewer offsides to ASM Belfort's five. This could have significantly contributed to the creation of more scoring opportunities for the away team.

As for discipline, both teams ended up collecting yellow cards; however, Annecy FC saw two of their players cautioned while ASM Belfort had only one. The timings of these bookings in the second half suggest that the game grew somewhat contentious as it progressed, but was kept under control as there were no red cards given on either side.

In conclusion, the match outcome was determined by a combination of scoring efficiency, discipline, and conversion of opportunities for Annecy FC. Despite ASM Belfort's slight upper hand in corner opportunities and maintaining a lower number of yellow cards, they fell short of harnessing these advantages to secure a win. It serves as a reminder that delivering on key moments is crucial in football, which is indeed what Annecy FC managed to do.
