In the Ligue 2 fixture played on the 25 November 2023 at 18:00 EEST, USL Dunkerque welcomed Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC to their home turf in a match that ended in a 2-0 defeat for the home team.

One of the most determinant factors in the match's outcome was Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC's agility and quick execution in the first half, securing both goals early on in the game. The first goal was scored just at the 15:10 mark and the second at 32:46, both of which put them in a strong position heading into the second half of the game. It appears that USL Dunkerque was caught off guard by the intense attack brought on by their opponents early on, and could never truly recover.

However, it's important to note that Dunkerque maintained a significant control over the match in terms of corner kicks, having 6 compared to Lavallois Mayenne's 2. Despite this statistical advantage, they were unable to convert these opportunities into goals, a determining factor that ultimately led to their defeat.

Interestingly, while the winning team was triumphant in terms of goals, they were markedly less disciplined. This is evidenced by their collection of four yellow cards across both halves - one in the first half at the 40:36 mark and subsequently three cards in the second half at 50:52, 1:07:29, and 1:25:57, respectively. The lack of discipline could have cost Stade Lavallois the game had Dunkerque been more effective at capitalizing on their mistakes.

Conversely, Dunkerque seemed to maintain more discipline throughout the game with just a single yellow card given in the second half, at 1:17:26. However, this aspect of their game did not provide any significant advantage as it did not help in reducing the goal deficit.

In conclusion, the significant factors that gave Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC the win over USL Dunkerque were the early goals scored in the first half and Dunkerque's inability to utilise their corner kick opportunities. However, their lack of discipline with fouls could be an area of concern in future games. Despite Dunkerque's superior ball control, the inability to convert opportunities into goals was crucial in their defeat.
