In a tightly contested match between LB Châteauroux and Orléans, the visitors emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. The only goal of the match came from Orléans in the second half at the 58:47 mark, securing them the three points. Offensively, neither team dominated, but efficient finishing from Orléans made the difference. Châteauroux struggled to find the back of the net despite having competitive opportunities.

When evaluating the teams' overall performance, it becomes clear that Orléans’ robust defense played a pivotal role. Despite receiving five yellow cards, the away team managed to maintain their discipline effectively, averting any red card scenarios which might have severely impacted their game. They were also slightly more adept in creating set-piece chances, winning six corner kicks compared to Châteauroux's five, which gave them a slight edge in offensive situations.

Both teams displayed aggressive tactics, as indicated by the high number of fouls—19 by Orléans and 15 by Châteauroux. However, Châteauroux’s inability to capitalize on their possession due to consistent defensive pressure and successful offside traps executed by Orléans (resulting in two offsides for Châteauroux) were critical factors. The away team had four offsides, suggesting their strategy focused more on counterattacks and breaking Châteauroux's defensive lines. This matchup highlighted the impact of steadfast defensive strategies and key strategic plays that defined Orléans' pathway to triumph.
