In an epic Ligue 1 clash on April 23, Toulouse triumphed over Lorient in a 1-0 victory at the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir. The decisive moment in the match came during the second half, at 01:07:04, when Zakaria Aboukhlal got the better of the opposition's defence to slot the ball home for Toulouse, following an exquisite assist from Fares Chaibi.

In terms of shooting accuracy, Toulouse was clearly superior with a total of 4 shots on target, compared to Lorient's singular hit. Although Lorient attempted more at the goal with 8 shots skimming off-target to Toulouse's 9, they could not convert these attempts into meaningful opportunities. This was a significant factor in Toulouse's victory, as their efficiency in front of the goal paid off with the match's only goal.

The number of attempts on goal was further supplemented by the quantity of corner kicks awarded. Toulouse displayed their authority in this area, enjoying a dominating 7 corner kicks, over three times the number awarded to Lorient, who only managed 2. This heightened pressure by the away team allowed them to maintain a rota of offensive play that undoubtedly kept the home side on the back foot throughout the match.

Both teams attempted to impede their opponents with an equal total of 13 fouls each with more yellow cards awarded to Lorient, indicating a higher degree of disciplinary action against them. This isn’t really surprising considering the pressure they were under – with Laurent Abergel, Bamo Meite, and Gedeon Kalulu on the receiving end of those yellow cards.

To Lorient's credit, they kept their defensive line disciplined and compact throughout the game, successfully catching Toulouse in offside on just one occasion. Impressive, considering Toulouse's attacking prowess throughout the match.

In conclusion, the key statistics responsible for the match outcome are undoubtedly Toulouse's superior shooting accuracy, and their monopolisation of corner kicks, which seem to have kept Lorient pressed in their own half. Lorient’s higher yellow card tally, and lower on-target shots demonstrate their struggle to keep control and power in the game. Toulouse's one-goal victory saw them successfully convert pressure and possession into the crucial match-winning goal.
