The goalless draw between Metz and Le Havre was a display of defensive discipline and missed opportunities. Both teams had equal yellow cards, two each, suggesting a balance in aggressive play. Metz picked up both of their cards in the second half, indicating an increase in pressure as the game progressed. This might have affected their ability to play more freely in the latter stages when offenses often are more productive.

The corner kick count slightly favored Le Havre, with six to Metz's four, suggesting a marginal advantage in attack creation, although not capitalized on. The corners reflected Le Havre’s persistent attempts to apply pressure on Metz's defense. Conversely, Metz's ability to win four corners demonstrated moments of offensive intent, but their execution in the final third ultimately lacked precision and decisive finishing.

Offside calls were minimal with Metz caught twice and Le Havre once, reflecting disciplined defensive lines from both teams. However, this also indicates a lack of incisive forward play or through balls that typically catch defenses off guard. Both teams struggled to break past defensive lines, highlighting issues in creative midfield play. This lack of creativity and clinical finishing was the main factor leading to the stalemate at Stade Saint Symphorien.
