Match Analysis
Pre-Match Analysis
RED Star FC 93 hosted Annecy in this Ligue 2 match. Damien Durand scored a penalty in the 21st minute which was the only goal in the match, giving Red Star FC 93 the win. While Annecy had more ball possession (62%), they couldn't convert it into goals. The match saw a flurry of substitutions in the second half, with both teams trying to change the dynamic. The predictions favored a double chance for a draw or an Annecy win, with a 45% chance for each. However, Red Star FC 93 defied these predictions, securing a 1-0 victory, with Saïf-Eddine Khaoui and Damien Durand being key players.
First Half Analysis
RED Star FC 93 holds a narrow 1-0 lead at halftime, courtesy of an early penalty converted by Damien Durand in the 21st minute. While Annecy controlled possession with 62% compared to RED Star's 38%, they failed to convert this dominance into goals, registering zero shots on target. Annecy's higher foul count (16 vs 14) and one yellow card suggest a more aggressive, albeit less disciplined, approach. RED Star, playing a 3-4-1-2 formation, capitalized on their early chance and defended resolutely, while Annecy's 3-4-3 formation struggled to break down the home side's defense, despite generating a similar number of total shots (5 each). Annecy will need to find a way to translate possession into clear-cut chances in the second half if they are to get back into the match, maybe the 3 substitutions at 61 minutes will boost them in the second half.
Second Half Analysis
The second half saw Annecy attempt to claw back the deficit from the early penalty conceded by Kouadio in the 21st minute, resulting in Durand's goal, but Red Star FC 93 managed to maintain their lead. Annecy made a flurry of substitutions in the 61st minute, bringing on Delphis, Neelakandan and Paris, and another later in the 76th minute, with Tiendrebeogo replacing Lajugie, in an attempt to revitalize their attack. However, despite these changes, and enjoying greater ball possession (62%) and passing accuracy (79%), they struggled to create clear-cut chances, failing to register a single shot on goal in the entire match. Red Star responded with substitutions of their own, including Khaoui for Danger (69'), Ikanga for Hachem and Durand for Benali (both 81'), aiming to inject fresh legs and tactical adjustments to secure the victory, ultimately succeeding in a tightly contested affair, despite Annecy's late push.
Post-Match Analysis
RED Star FC 93 secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Annecy, defying pre-match predictions that favored Annecy for a win or draw. The decisive moment came early in the 21st minute when Damien Durand converted a penalty, ultimately proving to be the difference. While Annecy dominated possession with 62%, they failed to convert their chances, registering zero shots on target. RED Star's defense held firm, limiting Annecy's opportunities despite their territorial advantage. The match was also notable for a flurry of substitutions in the second half as both managers sought to influence the game's outcome, and although the statistics show that Dylan Durivaux with a rating of 7.5 was the standout performer, Damien Durand goal was the main influence in the final result. Tactically, RED Star's early goal allowed them to sit back and absorb pressure, effectively frustrating Annecy's attacking efforts and securing a valuable three points.
