Offensively, Lorient proved more efficient in front of the net, with every one of their four shots on target resulting in a goal, while Stade Rennais only managed to convert one of their six shots on target into a goal. It's also interesting to note that Lorient did not have a single shot off target, indicating a highly accurate attack.

From the set-piece perspective, Stade Rennais forced Lorient’s defense under pressure more often, drawing 10 corner kicks compared to a mere 2 by Lorient. However, the lack of conversion from these opportunities meant Stade Rennais couldn't leverage this advantage effectively.

In conclusion, despite Stade Rennais having a larger share of shots and corner kicks, it was Lorient's clinical accuracy in front of the goal that ultimately secured them the match. This match served as a good reminder that conversion rate is ultimately what determines the outcome of a football match, not the total number of chances created.
