This National League match on October 6, 2023, saw SAS Epinal go head-to-head with FC Rouen 1899. A highly competitive match it ended in a draw (1-1). Both teams displayed solid teamwork and sportive spirit, reflected distinctly in their gameplay.

SAS Epinal's only goal came pretty early into the game at the 07:22 mark during the first half. On the contrary, FC Rouen scored their equaliser 30 minutes later at the 37:50. Neither team managed to change that scoreline throughout the second half - the upholding defensive strategies were as impressive as the counter-attacks.

When it comes to discipline, both teams fell short. SAS Epinal picked up two yellow cards while FC Rouen 1899 got one yellow, but more importantly, one red as well. The increased aggression in play, evidenced by these bookings, could have diverted their focus from playing a strategic game. Especially the dismissal for FC Rouen certainly disrupted their game plan, yet they managed to hold on to the draw.

The teams were not too distant concerning their corner kicks; SAS Epinal had two, and FC Rouen 1899 was marginally better with three. It's worth noting that neither team could convert these into goals, which speaks highly of the defences on both sides. The match statistic indicated some game interruptions - SAS Epinal caught offside on three occasions and FC Rouen just a tad better with two offsides. It appears that both teams attempted to push an aggressive forward line; however, their efforts were often poorly calculated, leading to the aforementioned offsides.

On the whole, the match was evenly balanced, both in terms of possession and aggressiveness. The draw seemed to be a fair result, considering the performances of both teams. SAS Epinal, despite the early lead, could not hold on, and FC Rouen managed to hold steady even with a player less. The inability to convert corner kick opportunities into goals and poor timing leading to offsides were crucial factors that had a significant impact on the final result.
