Red Star FC and Sochaux played out a goalless draw in Ligue 2, a result that flattered the visitors given the balance of play. The home side controlled the game with 67% possession and created far more, but found no way past the Sochaux goalkeeper.
Red Star monopolised the ball and racked up 19 shots, with five on target, yet the game remained scoreless. Sochaux, limited to six shots, had the clearest opening when a big chance was missed. Matthieu Huard and Elyaz Zidane were both booked midway through the second half.
The telling number was Red Star's 12 corner kicks to Sochaux's one, combined with their overwhelming possession, yet the scoreline stayed 0-0. Expected goals were 0.00 for both sides, underlining how little genuine threat was created despite 25 combined shots. Sochaux's goalkeeper made five saves to earn his side a point.
