US Orléans, which got off to a dream start, won at Le Mans, 0-2, Friday November 22, on the 13th day of the National. Here she is alone second in the championship.
US Orléans, which took the match from the right end, by scoring these two goals early, dominated Le Mans (0-2), Friday November 22, during the 13th day of National. Very little worried in Sarthe, she mastered her subject nicely and confirmed her know-how far from her bases, with this fourth away victory of the season. Here she is alone second in the championship.
First period
US Orléans bit quickly and hard into the match, opening the score in the 7th minute thanks to Guillaume Khous, who only had to touch a well-worked cross by Ryan Ponti. Orleans' domination became even stronger in the first quarter of an hour, and it was very logical that Lucas Bretelle scored the break after a superb sequence of play. It all started with a cross from Fahd El Khoumisti, left side, extended by Kévin Testud, who served Bretelle seven-eight meters from the target, for a goal full of composure from the USO midfielder. Just before, Fahd El Khoumisti stood out, with a splendid curling shot which smashed the Le Mans crossbar (18th). In his cage, Vincent Viot did not have a single save to make in this first period.
Second period
Le Mans got off to a better start, but it was the USO who had the ball for 3-0, on a corner from Ryan Ponti, cut with a header by Jimmy Halby-Touré, and nicely parried by Kocik, at the cost of a great flight (55th). The Le Mans goalkeeper had to work twice, within the hour mark, on attempts by El Khoumisti (59th) and Thérésin (60th). Le Mans thought they could reduce the score in the 63rd minute, on an acrobatic return from Dame Gueye, but the goal was refused for an offside by the attacker. Two minutes later, the Sarthe team found itself down to ten, after the expulsion of Brice Oggad, author of a poorly controlled tackle on Halby-Touré. And the match gradually lost rhythm and interest.
