First good news for Tristan Boubaya and his partners this Monday evening, September 5, for the 4th day of competition of the National, the Sarthois did not concede any goal for the first time of the season. A statistic all the more significant as they received one of the most in shape teams of this beginning of the championship, the Red Star, which held the top of the classification at the end of the third day.
First game of the season without conceding
A draw which was reflected on the ground by a good resistance of Manceaux. In the first half, the men of Cris were especially reassured defensively. Apart from Armand Gnanduillet’s first chance in the 2nd minute of play and the aborted breakthrough by Fahd El Koumisti (38′), stopped in his tracks by a strong shirt pull from Moussa Guel, Le Mans FC did not shine by his offensive animation.
A bit boring even for those who keep in mind the festival of goals offered by the Sang et or in their first home game (6-1 against Sedan).
+ Soccer. Le Mans FC against Red Star this Monday: the challenge of consistency
But Tristan Boubaya had set the tone during the pre-match conference of the week. For the former Concarnois, excessively generous in the effort this Monday evening, Le Mans must learn to turn around to move forward and accept the point of the draw to gain consistency.
Faced with the rapid counter-attacks of the Hachem-Guel-Durand-Ikanga block, the Sarthois were able to respond without giving the impression of suffering. A change compared to their last performance in Concarneau. The precise and unhurried intervention of Hugo Vargas-Rio between two Audonian attackers (17′) shows that the Le Mans captain has lost none of his sense of the game. Harold Voyer and Tristan Boubaya also gave of themselves to stop the tireless Ikanga, author of a double last week for the Red Star.
Bolder on the second part of the game
More inspired in the second half, the newcomers Makan AÎko (64′) and Zaid Amir brushed Butelle’s cages with their feet. But it is Jeffrey Quarshie, who arrived for the last quarter of an hour of play, who will offer the best emotion of the evening to the Le Mans supporters. In the area, Manceau shot from the right at close range but the Audonian goalkeeper proved intractable (84′).
