Looking at the statistics of the match held on 19th January between SAS Epinal and Nancy Lorraine, it is clear that it was a highly competitive and balanced game. The end result was decided by the finest of margins, with SAS Epinal managing a narrow 2-1 victory over Nancy Lorraine.

In terms of attacking proficiency, both teams were evenly matched with an almost identical number of shots on target (SAS Epinal 5, Nancy Lorraine 4). Nevertheless, SAS Epinal was able to capitalize on their opportunities, managing to find the back of the net twice, supported by two assists. The home team also had more attempts by shooting 6 times off-target, indicating their dominance in the attacking half and their willingness to try their luck from distance.

Keeping the pressure on Nancy Lorraine’s side, SAS Epinal forced more saves from the opposing goalkeeper, signaling a higher threat level from them. In addition, Epinal's keeper was forced to make 3 saves which show that Nancy Lorraine was not short of intent and posed a fair threat to the home defense.

With the number of fouls, SAS Epinal seemed a bit more aggressive with 10 fouls when compared to Nancy Lorraine’s 7. This potentially suggests a more desperate defensive strategy from SAS Epinal, which might have stemmed from trying to protect their narrow lead.

Set pieces played a somewhat neutral role in the game with both teams having nearly equal corners (SAS Epinal 4, Nancy Lorraine 5). With no yellow or red cards shown, the discipline of the teams was noteworthy and left the game's outcome down to pure skill and strategy, without any significant impact from disciplinary issues.

The only clear area of the game where one team was significantly superior was in defending against offsides. SAS Epinal only caught offside once, whereas Nancy Lorraine was caught offside three times. This suggests a more disciplined line held by SAS Epinal that limited the attacking threats from Nancy Lorraine.

Taking all these factors into account, it seems that the decisive factor was the slightly higher aggression and assertiveness of SAS Epinal, reflected in their higher number of shots and lower offsides. This allowed them to overcome the challenge posed by Nancy Lorraine, despite the very similar statistics in almost every other aspect of the match.
