In the Coupe de France match that took place on December 9, the Away team, Orleans, emerged victoriously over the Home team, Ajaccio, with a scoreline of 2-1.

One decisive factor in this match was the early goal scored by Orleans only 6.19 minutes into the first half. Getting that early lead clearly had a massive impact, allowing Orleans to dictate the flow of the game and control the game's tempo. This early momentum was carried into the second half, with Orleans scoring its second goal at the 64.47-minute mark, leading 2-0 at that point of the match.

At 83.34 minutes into the game, Ajaccio was able to score their first, and only goal of the match, but by then, it was too little, too late, as the game was nearing its conclusion, and Orleans was able to hold onto their lead.

Interestingly, Ajaccio dominated the corner kicks situation, with 12 compared to a mere 2 corners for Orleans. However, Orleans was more efficient in utilizing their chances. Although Ajaccio dominated set pieces, the data showed that winning corner kicks are not always a decisive factor. This match was a classic example where quality trumps quantity.

Disciplinary actions were not exceedingly high. However, with Orleans collecting two yellow cards, it hints at a defensive strategy that included tactical fouling to break up the play and slow down Ajaccio's momentum. Ajaccio picked up one yellow card. Nevertheless, neither team had a player sent off, hence the impact on the final result due to disciplinary issues was minimal.

Orleans' calculated, and efficient gameplay, highlighted by their early strike and successful holdup late in the game proved to be the most crucial factors contributing to their win. Despite Ajaccio's domination in corner kicks, they couldn't convert their opportunities into goals, a pitfall that eventually led to their defeat. This match serves as a stark reminder to football bettors about the importance of scoring efficiency and strategical gameplay over sheer statistical domination.
