OCS Olympique de Safi's attacking prowess was evident in the first half, as they scored at exactly 00:10:50. However, their inability to replicate such performance in the second half showed a lack of consistency in their forward play. In terms of discipline, they managed to keep their composure mostly, with just a single yellow card compared to the 2 received by MAS Maghreb Fes.

MAS Maghreb Fes displayed more offensive play, especially in their second-half performance, where they gained a slight upper hand in corner kicks with a 4-3 advantage. This clearly assisted in keeping pressure on OCS Olympique de Safi's defense and allowing the away side to level the scores at 00:54:33 in the second half. However, increased aggression led to MAS Maghreb Fes receiving a yellow card at 00:57:05 and another at 01:15:17.

Defensively, both teams were very evenly matched. The offside trap worked well for MAS Maghreb Fes with OCS Olympique de Safi falling foul once, on the other hand, OCS Olympique de Safi's defensive line managed to keep all the opposing forwards onside. Neither team stepped over the line enough to warrant a red card which demonstrates a fair level of discipline.

In terms of determining factors for the outcome of the match, the discipline and patience of MAS Maghreb Fes were commendable. Despite being one goal behind after the first half and earning 2 yellow cards, they managed to maintain their focus to equalize in the second half.

On the other hand, OCS Olympique de Safi failed to capitalize on their first-half lead and were unable to prevent their opponent from scoring in the second half. Their lack of corner kicks in the second half demonstrated a lower level of offensive threat which might have prevented them from securing victory.

In conclusion, this match was a balanced display of discipline, patience, and strategy, with neither team dominating the other emphatically. It underscores the importance of consistent attacking and defensive strategies and how well-timed offensive moves can tilt the balance even in tight encounters.
