Reviewing the offensive performance, Orleans showed dominance over Le Mans in their attacking approach. Notwithstanding their early goal, Le Mans didn't manage to sustain their offensive pressure, which is evident by the fact that they didn't manage to earn a single corner kick during the entire match.
