In the Coupe de France match between ASM Belfort and Olympique Saint-Quentin on 08 January 2023, it was Belfort's clinical finishing and disciplined defence that proved to be the significant difference between the two teams.

Belfort turned up the heat early with their first goal coming at the 18:39 mark of the first half. Despite Saint-Quentin drawing level soon after at 25:03, Belfort showed their class by immediately pushing ahead and reclaiming their lead just before halftime at 44:46. A third goal sealed the win in the second half, this time at the 80:34 mark. One of the key factors here was shot-taking efficiency; although data on shots taken wasn't provided, the 3-1 scoreline suggests Belfort made their chances count.

In terms of discipline, Saint-Quentin failed to maintain composure as the game progressed, evidenced by their second-half yellow card in the 79th minute. On the other hand, Belfort had three yellow cards across the match, two of which were in the second half, indicating a slight dip in discipline as the game went on.

Despite Saint-Quentin's commendable 6 corners compared to Belfort's 2, they were unable to convert these opportunities into goals. On the surface, this hints at a stronger defensive performance from Belfort who managed to minimize the threat from these set-pieces.

The match also saw zero red cards from both sides, demonstrating a measure of composure even under high-pressure situations.

While this data provides a brief overview of match proceedings, it should be noted that a full evaluation of performance also accounts for other parameters such as total shots, shots on target, goalkeeper saves, and player performance etc., which could not be factored in due to the unavailability of the specific stats for this game.

In conclusion, with an efficient attack and a solid defensive line, ASM Belfort came out on top in the Coupe de France match against Olympique Saint-Quentin. By capitalizing on their chances and maintaining a higher level of discipline, the home side demonstrated superior tactical and technical skills that proved decisive in this clash.
