In a tightly contested Ligue 1 match on 12th March 2023, ASI Abengourou emerged as the victors over CO Korhogo with a 1-0 finish. ASI Abengourou showcased brilliant defensive play throughout the match notably marked by their advantageous possession of corner kicks and effective shot-blocking.

The sole goal of the game came early in the match, at the 40:12 mark of the first half, providing ASI Abengourou with an early lead. This proved crucial as it allowed them to set the pace for the rest of the match, emphasizing defensive play to protect their lead. Despite ASI Abengourou's two yellow cards — one in the first half at 26:26 and the other in the second half at 1:23:31 — they were able to maintain robust defensive formations, ensuring that CO Korhogo was unable to capitalize on these cards. The lack of yellow or red cards on CO Korhogo's side suggests a clean but perhaps overly cautious gameplay, which may have limited their overall aggression and scoring opportunities.

Another crucial factor to consider was set-pieces. ASI Abengourou dominated the corner kick game with 6 compared to CO Korhogo's 5. Even though the difference is minor, the ability to capitalize on set piece scenarios led them securing the match. Each corner presented a goal scoring opportunity and it seems ASI Abengourou efficiently utilized these chances.

All in all, this match demonstrated the classic "defense wins games" philosophy. Despite the two yellow cards, ASI Abengourou's defense successfully carried them to a narrow win. On the other hand, CO Korhogo’s inability to capitalize on the potential vulnerability of ASI Abengourou during these cards or generate enough threats through their own corner kicks ultimately resulted in their downfall. In this match, every statistical figure highlighted the efficiency and solid defensive approach by ASI Abengourou leading to their 1-0 triumph over their contenders.
