In this Ligue 1 match held on April 9, 2023, Ajaccio hosted AJ Auxerre at the Stade Francois Coty where the visitors emerged victorious, beating the home team with a resounding 3-0 final score.

The away team AJ Auxerre kicked off their early dominance in the match with the first goal from Birama Toure just 2 minutes and 32 seconds into the match. Nuno da Costa followed suit within 3 minutes, at the 5 minute and 55 seconds mark, aided by an assist from Rayan Raveloson. The first-half battering was capped off by an unfortunate own goal from Mickael Alphonse, further digging Ajaccio into a 0-3 hole.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Auxerre though, as they showed a higher rate of booked players. Specifically, Julian Jeanvier, Youssouf Mchangama, and Akim Zedadka picked up yellow cards at different stages of the game. Conversely, the home team had a more disciplined 90 minutes with only Ismael Diallo getting booked during the second half.

In terms of ball possession and attempts at goal, the home team had a more aggressive approach but lacked preciseness. Ajaccio took 7 shots off target, same as Auxerre, however, when it came to shots on target, Auxerre made twice as many valid threats (4) compared to Ajaccio (2) - proving a higher level of precision and finishing.

But where Ajaccio excelled was in their corner kick exploits. They managed 7 corner kicks compared to Auxerre’s 5, showing their ability to put consistent, albeit unsuccessful, pressure on the away team's defense. Additionally, a noteworthy point was Ajaccio's 5 offside offenses compared to Auxerre's single offside offense - potentially reflecting a more aggressive attacking strategy, albeit unsuccessful in this match.

A look at the foul count shows Auxerre as the more impudent side, committing 15 fouls, compared to Ajaccio's 13. However, neither team crossed the boundary into a red card offense, which is a positive note on their discipline.

In conclusion, even though Ajaccio dominated in corner kicks and maintained a disciplined defense, Auxerre's precision in finishing and more passive but successful attacking strategy paid off, making them effective and efficient. Their early goals significantly shaped the outcome of the match, which their disciplined defense successfully preserved, despite their higher foul and yellow card count.
