In the tense, tactical battle between Bouake FC and San Pedro FC in Ligue 1 competition on April 9, it was San Pedro who emerged as victors with a slight advantage of 2-1.

Looking over the match data, we can see that one of the clear contributing factors that led to San Pedro FC's victory was their efficiency in front of the goal. Despite having fewer shots on target than Bouake FC (5 shots to 6), they were able to convert more of their chances into goals. This largely came down to making better use of the opportunities and the comparatively low saves by the Bouake FC’s goalkeeper, who only made three saves in comparison to San Pedro’s goalkeeper, with five saves.

Both teams demonstrated an aggressive playstyle, taking a substantial amount of shots throughout the game. However, inaccuracy was an issue for both sides. San Pedro FC had 9 shots off target and Bouake FC had 8, indicating that better shot execution could have potentially seen a different result. Clearly, both teams need to work on final-third precision in future games.

An interesting tactical element was apparent in the use of corner kicks, where San Pedro FC excelled. With 6 corner kicks against Bouake FC's 4, they demonstrated superior set-piece execution which contributed significantly to maintaining the pressure and possibly creating scoring opportunities.

On the disciplinary front, it was a clean game with no yellow or red cards issued for either team. This demonstrates good disciplinary control from both sides.

Lastly, a factor that appeared to have a less explicit impact on the final score, but shouldn't be overlooked, was the offside trap. San Pedro FC was caught offside three times compared to Bouake FC's twice indicating a tight defensive line from Bouake FC, who, however, might have benefited even more with a slightly more aggressive application.

Case in point, San Pedro's victory was down to their clinical execution, despite having fewer chances on goal, and their superior corner-kick strategy. Both teams will likely be looking to improve their shot accuracy for future matches.
