The Ligue 1 match on the 14th of April between Toulouse and Olympique Lyonnais ended with a 2 - 1 victory for the away team. Even though the teams seemed evenly matched in certain aspects of play, a few key statistical factors played a pivotal role in defining the outcome of the match.

Analyzing the goal data, we see that Olympique Lyonnais opened the scoring early in the first half with a successful penalty by Alexandre Lacazette, whose influence became more prominent when he was issued a yellow card later in the game. Toulouse, however, quickly responded with a goal from Zakaria Aboukhlal, ensuring the teams went to halftime with the score level at 1-1. The match-winning goal, to the home team's dismay, came from an own goal by Toulouse's Logan Costa in the second half.

Taking a look at the shots on target, Toulouse had double that of Olympique Lyonnais, 6 compared to 3 respectively. However, this statistic didn't translate to more goals for the home team. On the contrary, the away team was more efficient, scoring 2 of their 3 shots on target. Also interesting are the 14 shots off target from both teams collectively, with the away team leading with 11, suggesting that both teams struggled with shot accuracy in the match.

The teams had a significant difference in corner kicks. Toulouse secured 8 in comparison to Olympique Lyonnais’ 5, but neither team was able to successfully convert these opportunities into goals.

In terms of disciplinary actions, Olympique Lyonnais accrued triple the yellow cards Toulouse did, with 4 compared to 1. This paints a picture of an aggressive Lyon side, but it didn’t impact their performance negatively, as no red cards were issued.

With regard to fouls, Toulouse had 14 while Olympique Lyonnais had 10, an indication of how tightly contested the match was, as both teams tried to assert their dominance over their opponents. On offside counts, Toulouse beat Olympique Lyonnais by 2 to 1, implying a more aggressive approach in attack.

In summary, the efficiency in front of goal from Olympique Lyonnais and the unfortunate own goal by Toulouse's Logan Costa were the most significant factors leading to the away team's victory. Despite losing discplinary control slightly, Olympique Lyonnais demonstrated an ability to capitalize on the crucial moments, which ultimately earned them the valuable 3 points.
