The action-packed Ligue 2 match between Sochaux Montbeliard and Girondins de Bordeaux that took place on 11 March 2023, ended in a well-matched 1-1 draw, showcasing a balanced performance by both teams.

In terms of offence, Girondins de Bordeaux took the lead slightly earlier in the game at 29 minutes 33 seconds but Sochaux Montbeliard quickly retaliated, equalising at 40 minutes 3 seconds of the first half, ensuring that the rivals were evenly matched at half-time. This demonstrates an efficient attack from Sochaux Montbeliard as they responded with a goal ably within just over 10 minutes.

Both teams deployed corner kicks discriminately, with Sochaux Montbeliard edging out Bordeaux with 3 to 2. In terms of offside calls, again Sochaux Montbeliard had a higher count at 3 compared to Bordeaux's 2, indicating more aggressive but sometimes overly risky offensive plays from the home team.

The disciplinary actions of the match further solidify its balanced nature, as both teams incurred an equal number of yellow cards, with 2 each, all of which were administered in the second half. Each team had one player cautioned in similar stages of the game, with home team's first yellow card being shown at 63 minutes 06 seconds and away team's at 74 minutes 17 seconds. The second set of yellow cards for both teams was almost synchronised at 93 minutes 19 seconds and 93 minutes and 21 seconds, which is indicative of a mounting tension as the game drew towards the conclusion.

Drawing our analysis to the fouls committed, Bordeaux disrupted Sochaux Montbeliard's play slightly more often, with a total of 16 fouls compared to Sochaux Montbeliard's 12.

Scrutinising these statistical factors one would conclude that the drawn result fairly reflects the evenly given performances by both sides, confirmed by the tie in goals and yellow cards, and close figures in corner kicks, offsides, and fouls. The key factor that defined the outcome of the match is undeniably the quick counter goal by Sochaux Montbeliard in the first half. Their ability to respond rapidly to an opponent's lead was instrumental in shaping the final score of the match.
