The match’s tactical narrative was shaped by a high level of discipline and a touch of chaos. East Bouth held 56% possession and created a slightly higher xG of 2.18, compared to Favenin’s 1.82, which suggests that the visitors’ attacking moves were more threatening on paper. Despite this, the game was relatively even in terms of shots (9-11) and on-target efforts (6-7). Favenin’s goal came from a well-placed finish by Paul Dupont in the 54th minute, assisted by Eric Moreau, who played a pivotal role in their attacking setup. However, East Bouth responded swiftly, with Philippe Robert’s goal in the 58th minute, assisted by Michel Lemoine, leveling the score. The decisive moment arrived late, with Pedro Chagas putting the visitors ahead in the 84th minute after a neat assist from Lemoine, sealing the victory. The game was also marked by a series of bookings, with three yellow cards for each side, reflecting the competitive but disciplined nature of the fixture.

While neither side could claim dominance in possession or passing accuracy—both teams hovered around 82-85%—it was East Bouth’s clinical finishing and tactical patience that ultimately decided the outcome. The game demonstrated that in this division, a well-organized team that capitalizes on its chances can prevail over a side that controls possession but struggles to convert opportunities. The result leaves East Bouth slightly ahead in the league standings, with Favenin left to ponder their missed opportunities and defensive lapses.
