The clash between Annecy FC and AJ Auxerre on February 17, 2024, at 18:00 EEST in the Ligue 2 was a thrilling match filled with numerous opportunities for both sides.

Annecy FC showcased an aggressive strategy, leading the match with 15 attempts, nine of which were on target and six were off target. This aggressive offence translated to three goals for the home team, with two assists that potentially were game-changing factors. In comparison, AJ Auxerre had a total of nine attempts, five on target and four off target but only converted one of these into a goal and did not provide any assist.

However, AJ Auxerre shone in their defensive game. Their goalkeeper saved six attempts by Annecy FC, while Annecy FC's goalkeeper saved only four attempts. This indicates both a solid defensive performance by Aj Auxerre and a strong attacking play from Annecy FC, making the match a thrilling face-off between offence and defence.

The set-piece game was another area where the teams seemed to differ. Annecy FC managed to secure seven corner kicks compared to AJ Auxerre's five. However, neither team could convert these chances into goals. There were several disruptions in the flow of the game with Annecy FC committing 12 fouls and AJ Auxerre 10, but neither team was issued any yellow or red cards.

In terms of offside offences, there was a narrow margin as Annecy FC were caught out four times and AJ Auxerre three times. Annecy FC seemed to have a slight edge over AJ Auxerre in terms of team coordination, as they had to make only two substitutions compared to AJ Auxerre's three, indicating a better performance and fewer requirement for tactical shifts.

Overall, the match seemed to be a contest between Annecy FC's offensive game and AJ Auxerre's defensive resilience. However, the statistical edge was clearly with the home team leading in goals, the number of attempts, assists and fewer substitutions which most probably resulted in a deserving 3-1 victory for Annecy FC. The game also highlighted the importance of accuracy in attack, as AJ Auxerre despite having a decent amount of shots on target, failed to get more goals. The saves made by each team's goalkeepers further underlined the significant role they play in the outcome of a match.
