At the break, the Merlus dominate the derby against Guingamp

After 45 minutes of play, Brittany is currently in Lorient. This Saturday, November 9, as part of the 13th day of Ligue 2, FC Lorient welcomes EA Guingamp to the Moustoir stadium. At the break, it was the Merlus who dominated the debates, both in the game and on the scoreboard. In front of a crowd, Olivier Pantaloni's men quickly took matters into their own hands, putting their foot on the ball and creating several opportunities. But it was from a corner that Laurent Abergel's teammates managed to make it happen. On a ball poorly repelled by the Guingamp defense, Pános Katséris, eccentric in the area, carried out a chest check then a short-net volley to give his team the advantage (8th, 1-0).

The twist of fate

Harmless until then, the EAG, dominated, slowly emerged from its den. Just before the half-hour mark, left-back Lenny Vallier, launched in his lane behind the defense, volleyed at the edge of the area. But his attempt found the gloves of Yvon Mvogo (28th). A little less precise technically and surprised defensively on two or three occasions, the FCL then got scared… before fate worked in its favor. On a cross from the right, Aiyegun Tosin, from the penalty spot, sent a powerful header onto the Guingamp bar. Enzo Basilio, who stretched out, then had the misfortune to see the ball bounce behind his back and enter the net (42nd, 2-0). A result which for the moment allows the Lorientais to regain second place in Dunkirk and come back to one point behind the leader, Paris FC, held in check for the moment in Pau.
