Critical factors that influenced the scoring were the goals that happened in the first and second halves. FC Rouen 1899 took an early lead at 00:26:21, however, Orleans managed to respond swiftly during the later stages of the first half, equalizing at 00:44:33. The deciding factor in this match was the second goal by FC Rouen, barely three minutes after the commencement of the second half at 00:47:17. It appears that the sudden attack at the opening of the second half left Orleans in a position from which they were unprepared to recover.

Considerably, the home team made good use of their corner kicks throughout the game, with 4 in total. Orleans, though having a greater number of corner kicks (6), were unable to convert these opportunities into goals.

The away team’s discipline affected the game’s outcome, receiving two yellow cards in the second half at 00:59:38 and 01:08:10 respectively. This reduced their effectiveness and may have played a part in FC Rouen's maintaining the lead they had secured.
