In a decisive 4-1 victory, Orleans displayed exceptional efficiency in front of the goal. Despite having an equal number of corner kicks with Valenciennes, Orleans capitalized on their open play opportunities, scoring four times from open play. The home team's ability to convert chances into goals was pivotal, with goals coming at key moments, disrupting Valenciennes' momentum.

Valenciennes managed to equalize shortly after Orleans' opening goal, but their inability to maintain this resilience was evidenced by the host's quick response to regain the lead. Orleans' goal in the 31st minute shifted the match's tempo decisively in their favor. Their superior attacking coordination was clear, with the home side keeping up the pressure and extending their lead during the second half.

Defensively, both teams displayed weaknesses. While Orleans committed more fouls, resulting in five yellow cards, Valenciennes received only two. Franciliens' discipline issues may have reflected their struggle to contain Orleans’ dynamic play without resorting to fouling. However, the away side's lack of offsides speaks to their struggle in pushing forward aggressively, underscoring their challenges in implementing an effective attacking strategy.
