For the 8th day of Ligue 2, Lorient dominated and finally won on the Caen pitch (1-2). Obviously a good operation from the perspective of the top of the table.
Lorient did not give up. This Saturday, on the lawn of the Michel-d’Ornano stadium, the players led by Olivier Pantaloni have long confirmed their difficulties away from home. For a long time, they only had one success in Martigues this Saturday, which was very little for a contender for promotion who finally won to become second in the standings, 2 points behind Paris FC. The start of the match, clearly, was not in favor of the locals and could have largely tilted in favor of Lorient without the good defensive interventions of Mandrea and his rearguard in front, in particular, of a threatening Eli Junior Kroupi. Against the flow of play, on its first opportunity, it was Caen who opened the scoring thanks to the achievement of Tidiam Gomis, who, after being alerted in the depth, deceived Mvogo (1-0, 18th).
This opening score was, however, not followed by domination by the locals, and it was Lorient who rushed forward, eager to get back into the match, which was achieved thanks to the goal of Eli Junior Kroupi, in great form with a third goal in the last two matches (1-1, 35th). The draw at the break was quite flattering for the locals, and it swung in favor of Lorient following a bad dribble from Traoré in his half of the field, well exploited by Bamba (1-2, 87th).
Clermont wakes up suddenly against Guingamp
In the other matches this Saturday afternoon, Clermont recovered well after its defeat in Grenoble (3-0) and took out its nerves on Guingamp, which therefore conceded its third setback of the season despite vain statistical domination (4-1). Concerning the second part of the table, Ajaccio and Martigues were unable to decide between themselves with a draw which did not suit anyone (1-1). This 8th day will end this Saturday evening with Metz-Amiens (8 p.m.).
