The Havrais dominated Metz (2-0) to conclude the thirteenth day of Ligue 2. The score could have been even wider in favor of the players of Luka Elsner, who hardly conceded an opportunity.
The hierarchy begins to take shape at the third of the season, in all the championships. At the Océane stadium, it was in any case perfectly respected with the logical success of the Le Havre, candidates who are asserting themselves, against the Messins (2-0) who are stuck in the soft underbelly after an interesting start: a victory over the last seven games, a twelfth place and above all eleven points behind, already, on the second place of the HAC which therefore remains a small unit behind the leader Bordeaux. Laszlo Bölöni’s players, who seem to have been beaten down by their 6-3 defeat to eight against eleven against Guingamp at home last month, are however only three points ahead of the 17th and first relegated Rodez. “We lack a little aggressiveness, it’s a difficult period and we have to quickly reconnect with success,” concedes Matthieu Udol.
Gautier Lloris drew the success of the HAC from the tenth minute by opening the scoring from a corner, Nabil Alioui supported at the start of the second period (2-0, 53rd) with a surgical strike from the left foot at the entrance to the surface . The latter summarizes, satisfied with a job well done: “We gain confidence, it helps the team and we are all united, that’s how we win. We are a collective, everyone scores and that makes our strength. We had to win, we knew that Bordeaux had won and that there are good results ahead, they don’t give up.” Sochaux is third at two points from Le Havre, Amiens fourth at three lengths and the duo Grenoble – Valenciennes fifth at four points. It’s a very early mattress, perhaps the first, in this League 2 so homogeneous. It will resume in two weeks, after a Coupe de France break.
