The Ligue 2 match held on 30th March 2024 between US Quevilly Rouen Metropole (QRM) and SM Caen provided many key points into both teams’ performance and areas for improvement.

Despite having a goal deficit in the first half, it was interesting to note that QRM was dominating in terms of corner kicks with an overwhelming total of 10 compared to Caen's modest 3. This reflects QRM's offensive prowess, but unfortunately, they were unable to convert those corner opportunities into goals.

The game was characterized by a high number of fouls from both teams, QRM committing 16, and Caen with 14. This translated into numerous free-kick opportunities but didn’t affect the game's outcome as neither team managed to score from a free-kick.

Caen showed clinical execution early in the match with two goals scored in the first half at 9:49 and 42:36. The timing of these goals, especially the second one so close to half-time, likely played a psychological role, adding pressure and deflating the morale of the QRM team.

QRM could only manage a solitary goal in the second half at 65:21, indicating a subpar conversion rate despite creating opportunities and maintaining consistent offensive pressure, as evidenced by their high number of corner kicks.

With regards to discipline, both teams had a record of yellow cards with QRM accumulating 2 and Caen with 3. Importantly, neither team succumbed to a red card, allowing them to retain full squad strength throughout the match.

In conclusion, while QRM has shown great offensive potential with their aggressive play and high number of corner kicks, their inability to translate that pressure into goals was their downfall. On the other hand, Caen demonstrated a more efficient approach to their attacks and showed better goal scoring efficiency, despite having fewer corner opportunities. Discipline also played a key role in the game, with Caen receiving more yellow cards than QRM, which could result in possible suspensions for future games.

Ultimately, Caen’s efficiency in front of the goal and strong first-half performance played a pivotal role in their 2-1 victory over QRM.
