Despite the development of betting statistics, supposedly favouring Stade Reims due to a significantly higher number of corner kicks (7 compared to Toulouse's 2), this Coupe de France match ultimately ended in favour of the home team Toulouse with a scoreline of 3-1. It's a clear reminder that the match outcome doesn't simply depend on possession or attacking opportunities but how each team effectively utilises these opportunities to create goals.

Toulouse demonstrated their efficient striking as they took the lead in the initial half, scoring twice in less than 35 minutes. Their two early goals were astonishingly timed and struck at 00:22:12 and 00:34:53 minutes respectively. Meanwhile, Stade Reims struggled to convert their possession and corners into tangible output in terms of goals. It is worth noting that despite having more than triple the corner kicks than Toulouse, Reims only managed to score one goal, which they achieved at 01:28:21 in the second half.

Both teams were cautious not to commit fouls that could unravel their game plan. Toulouse committed 11 fouls and Stade Reims barely did any less, recording 10 fouls. This resulted in both sides equally receiving two yellow cards each. The timing of these bookings for Reims might have destabilised their performance, especially the one received early in the first half at 00:06:37. Meanwhile, Toulouse's bookings came later in the second half, which likely had less impact on their rhythm.

Another facto that requires attention is the offside trap. Toulouse was caught offside thrice, indicating an aggressive forward line and the risk-taking appetite to split the defence of Stade Reims, which likely contributed to their higher goal tally. In contrast, Reims was caught offside just once, implying either a more cautious approach or less effective forward tactics.

In conclusion, bettors need to be cautious when evaluating match statistics, as not all opportunities translate into goals. Furthermore, an effective defense mechanism, timely strikes on target, and efficient utilisation of set plays (corners and penalties) often play a vital role in determining the result of the match. In this particular game, Toulouse demonstrated exceptional scoring efficiency and tactical discipline which carried them to victory.
