This thrilling Ligue 1 encounter between Stade Brestois and Clermont Foot on 03 December 2023 undoubtedly displayed the gulf in class between the two sides. Brestois really ran the show, with a convincing 3-0 victory.

Brestois were lethal in attack and demonstrated elegant finishing. Out of their two goals in the first half, coming at 00:19:41 and 00:34:12, one can notice that they capitalized on their momentum and kept a steady pressure on the Clermont Foot defence. The third goal scored in the second half at 00:50:40 merely sealed the fate of the game.

In terms of discipline, Clermont Foot received the most yellow cards, a total of two compared to Brestois’s one, with the first for Clermont Foot arising just a minute before Brestois's first goal, potentially indicating a lack of composure that Brestois took advantage of.

In the fouls department, Clermont Foot also outdid Brestois with 14 fouls, considerably more than Brestois’s 10. This high foul count is also a signaling factor pointing towards Clermont Foot's frustration and difficulties coping with Brestois's offensive pressure.

Both sides had limited success in creating opportunities using set-pieces, with Brestois having 4 corner kicks and Clermont Foot only getting 2. However, the fact that Brestois managed to score three goals without heavy reliance on corner kicks, showcases their effectiveness in open play.

The offside statistics show that Brestois were caught offside twice while Clermont Foot only once. This statistic suggests that Brestois were trying to exploit the high line of Clermont’s defense despite being flagged offside on a couple of occasions.

Finally, there were no red cards handed out in the match, indicating that despite the number of fouls and yellow cards, the game did not escalate into more severe disciplinary issues.

All in all, it was a commanding performance from Stade Brestois. The scoring prowess they displayed in open play coupled with their comparably better discipline painted the perfect picture of their superiority over Clermont Foot on the day. In contrast, Clermont Foot will have to look back at this fixture and see where they can improve, especially in terms of discipline and handling offensive pressure from the opposing side.
