AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Dijon controlled possession throughout, finishing with 66% of the ball against Pau's 34%, and out-shot their opponents 16 to 6, with nine efforts on target compared to three for the visitors. Yet all that territory and pressure yielded nothing, and it was Pau who made the breakthrough count, striking on the counter through Leye midway through the second half.
The result leaves Dijon with just one point from two matches and 12th in the table, while Pau move up to ninth on three points after a much-needed win. Pau were also the more disciplined side in terms of fouls conceded relative to possession, though they picked up the match's only yellow card, shown to one of their players, as Dijon's Bellon and Lacroix impressed without finding a way through.
Pau goalkeeper Brice Maubleu was rated the top performer on the pitch with an 8.2 mark, a reflection of the resistance he offered against Dijon's heavy shot count.
Dijon's 16 shots to Pau's 6 underlined their territorial dominance, yet it counted for nothing on the scoreboard.
