In this Ligue 1 clash between ES Ben Aknoun and Paradou AC, the match was tightly contested with both sides exhibiting solid defensive displays, which is reflected in the final scoreline of 1-0 in favor of Ben Aknoun. The match's opening was pivotal; Ben Aknoun capitalized on early chaos within Paradou AC's defense, resulting in a goal just over 20 minutes into the first half. This early advantage allowed the home team to dictate the pace and manage the defensive side of their game effectively.

Paradou AC's discipline was a significant factor in their inability to shift momentum in their favor. Accumulating two early yellow cards within the first eight minutes disrupted their rhythm and restricted their defensive aggression. With a total of four yellow cards each, both teams flirted with disciplinary trouble that could have altered the match's outcome, but neither side succumbed to red cards. This parity in discipline did, however, contribute to a cautious approach especially in the latter stages of the match.

In terms of attacking statistics, neither team managed to put significant pressure on the opposition goalkeeper, as indicated by a negligible difference in corner kicks (3 for Ben Aknoun and 2 for Paradou AC) and offsides (2 for Ben Aknoun with none for Paradou AC). The limited set-piece opportunities reflect the scrappy nature of the game, characterized by frequent fouls—20 by the home team and 21 by the visitors—hindering any sustained attacking moves. The defensive focus and physical nature of the game ultimately dictated the outcome, with Ben Aknoun adeptly managing their slim early lead and effectively thwarting Paradou AC's attempts to find an equalizer.
