In an electrifying match in the Coupe de France, we observed the home team, Olympique Lyonnais, triumph over Lille OSC with a 2-1 victory courtesy of a strong performance in terms of goals and effective utilisation of corner kicks. This outcome was in spite of the fact that they were handed two yellow cards. However, it's clear from the data that the match was tightly contested, as evidenced by the high number of fouls from both sides and offside penalties that Lyonnais incurred.

Olympique Lyonnais made remarkable use out of their goal scoring opportunities in the early stages with two quick goals; the first came late in the first half at the 39th minute, while the second was netted early in the second half, at the 47th minute. These early goals placed a considerable psychological strain on Lille OSC as they sought to rally and make a comeback, only managing their first goal in the 53rd minute.

One key area that set Olympique Lyonnais apart was their utility of corner kicks, attaining a total of 5 compared to Lille OSC's 3. This additional pressure from set pieces paid dividends as they dominated the scoring board.

However, the game was far from a one-sided affair. Both teams exhibited comparable physicality in play as reflected by the equal number of fouls, a total of 11 each. Despite this, it was Olympique Lyonnais that found themselves in the referee's book, receiving two yellow cards both issued during the second half, while Lille OSC maintained a clean record throughout the game.

Another interesting facet of the game was the offside penalties. Olympique Lyonnais, with their aggressive style of play, saw themselves caught offside 6 times, compared to Lille OSC's 2. Despite these offside infringements adding to the tally of lost opportunities, it seems to have not diluted their overall offensive performance.

In conclusion, Olympique Lyonnais won courtesy of their early incisive goals and exploitation of corner kicks. Their aggressive style of play was marginally controlled by the match officials, as seen by the infractions they received. However, their indiscretions did not mar the victory, which was a testament to a strong, well-coordinated team effort.
