In an exciting and competitive Ligue 1 game on 21 May 2023 at Stade Francis-Le Ble, Stade Brestois came out victorious with a 2-1 scoreline against Clermont Foot.

The game started with a surprise as the away team, Clermont Foot scored an early goal in the first half at 00:42:57 thanks to Neto Borges, assisted by Muhammed Saracevic. However, Brestois quickly equalized with a goal from Franck Honorat just a minute or so later, assisted by the stellar Pierre Lees Melou. Lees Melou's contribution didn't stop there as his second assist led to the winning goal by Steve Mounie in the early moments of the second half.

A look at the performance data gives us more insights. Stade Brestois played an offensive game with 10 shots in total, 3 of which were on target, while Clermont Foot had 8 shots of which only 2 were on target. Brestois had a total of 7 corner kicks against Clermont Foot's only one, highlighting their domination and offensive push.

However, Brestois need to work on their discipline as they committed 16 fouls compared to Clermont Foot's 11. This was also reflected in the number of yellow cards received, with both teams cautioned multiple times, Brestois with 3 and Clermont with 4. This aggressive playstyle certainly can risk more serious consequences in future games, especially if they result in red cards or penalties.

A significant factor affecting Clermont Foot might have been the lack of opportunities from lack of corner kicks and offensive setups, as evidenced by their lone corner kick and zero offsides. Additionally, their discipline issues led to four yellow cards, disrupting their rhythm and affecting their performance.

Stade Brestois's strategy to keep the ball in the opposition territory and their effectiveness in utilizing opportunities created from corner kicks gave them the edge. Pierre Lees Melou in particular, had a significant influence on the match outcome with his two key assists. However, both teams need to improve their accuracy as more than half of their total shots were off target.

In conclusion, the match was won in the midfield with Lees Melou’s influential plays. The difference in the game was Brestois' offensive pressure, shining in the corners and assistance. On the other hand, Clermont Foot was let down by their discipline issues and lack of offensive threat.
