In this gripping encounter in the Coupe de France, L'Union St Jean FC clinched a narrow 2-1 victory over FC Versailles 78, capitalizing on a strong first-half performance. L'Union St Jean struck just 12 seconds into the match, a lightning-fast start that disrupted Versailles’ initial game plan and set the tone early. They doubled their lead at the 30-minute mark, highlighting their clinical edge in the first half despite not winning any corner kicks throughout the match.

FC Versailles 78 fought back in the second half, reducing the deficit with a goal at the 54th minute. This comeback effort was largely driven by their possession strategy, as reflected in their four corner kicks—all earned in the second half—demonstrating their pressure on L'Union St Jean’s defensive line. However, Versailles’ inability to convert these opportunities into additional goals showed a lack of cutting-edge finishing.

Disciplinary issues significantly affected the match tempo, with both teams collectively amassing ten yellow cards. L'Union St Jean's overly aggressive approach awarded them six of these, especially during the latter stages where four yellows were shown. This indiscipline could have jeopardized their control over the game, but FC Versailles' similar struggles with fouls and yellow cards neutralized any potential advantage gained from these errors. Ultimately, while L'Union St Jean displayed effective teamwork and goal-scoring efficiency early on, Versailles' late resurgence was hindered by their failure to maintain composure and capitalize on set-piece opportunities.
