Laval brings down the Lorient leader and reignites the suspense in Ligue 2!

A decidedly complicated 17th day of Ligue 2 for the championship leaders! After the defeat of Paris FC against Martigues (1-2) and the draws of Metz against Pau (0-0) and Dunkerque at Guingamp (1-1), it was FC Lorient which missed its resumption of the competition this Saturday, January 4. Traveling to Laval, the leader was surprised by some catchy Tango. In dire conditions due to the weather, Olivier Frapolli's players were able to tip the scales in their favor during an open meeting marked by clear chances on each side. But everything changed after the hour mark when on an eccentric free kick on the right side of the Lorient area, the left-handed Sellouki curled a ball which crashed into the far post. When it fell out, Kouassi was quicker than everyone to push the ball into the back of the net and open the scoring (67th). It was then the home scorer Tchokounté who came to complete the affair, concluding with a shot under the bar a good job from Tell (86th).

Laval reignites the suspense in the lead!

Very close to scoring a third goal, with the post inexplicably found by Cherni, alone in front of the empty Lorient goal, Laval therefore offers itself a big blow by achieving a fourth success in a row in the championship! The Tango, who will soon challenge Toulouse (L1) at the Stadium in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France (15/01), have not lost in Ligue 2 since the end of October. Undefeated since November 1, Lorient is missing the opportunity to jump to the top of the rankings. Les Merlus are one point ahead of Dunkirk (2nd), two ahead of Paris FC (3rd) and three ahead of FC Metz (4th) and Annecy FC (5th)… one week before hosting Metz. ! Laval, sixth, is five lengths behind. Total suspense…
