In the Coupe de France match between Olympique Saumur FC and US Concarneau, the away side secured a 2-0 victory through effective capitalisation on early scoring opportunities and stout defensive displays. US Concarneau took the lead in the first half with a goal at the 20th minute mark. Their second goal, coming at the 61st minute, effectively sealed the match. The away team's ability to score relatively early in each half proved pivotal, as it established momentum and put the pressure on Saumur to chase the game.

Olympique Saumur FC demonstrated a proactive approach with eight corner kicks compared to Concarneau's five, indicating their efforts to apply attacking pressure. Despite this, their inability to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals highlighted a key shortcoming. Conversely, Concarneau's defense successfully absorbed Saumur's advances by maintaining discipline and positioning, which was further aided by their two yellow cards being the only blemish on their defensive record.

One of the notable tactical disparities was in handling offsides; while Olympique Saumur managed to avoid offside traps entirely, Concarneau was flagged offside four times. This suggests Saumur's structured defensive line was effective at times but ultimately they fell short in offensive conversion. Additionally, the foul count was relatively balanced, with Saumur committing 12 fouls to Concarneau’s 13, indicating a closely contested physical encounter. However, without converting their territorial statistics into scoreboard pressure, Saumur was unable to break down the resilient defense of Concarneau.
