Le Havre leads the way at half-time!
It’s the break between Le Havre and Strasbourg. HAC takes the lead thanks to a splendid goal from Kechta in the 24th minute. An important goal in the race to maintain it.
The big opportunity for Bakwa before the break!
Bakwa receives the ball on the right side, fixes the Le Havre defense before curling a very powerful shot which licks Desmas’ post. It was very hot, undoubtedly the biggest opportunity for Strasbourg in this first period!
4 minutes of added time
We feel that the people of Le Havre are waiting for this break to find a second wind. Strasbourg pushes a little more but still lacks inspiration.
A little alert for Casimir, Joujou warming up
The Le Havre right midfielder, decisive passer for Kechta, grits his teeth after complaining of pain. Joujou was sent to warm-up as a precaution.
Elsner furious from his bench
The HAC coach calls on his relays, Ayew, Thargalline and even Lloris to raise their voices on the pitch. “We do anything,” we heard via Amazon microphones.
Isolated, Bakwa tries to gain some speed
The former Bordeaux player uses all his percussion qualities on the right side and wants to initiate a rapid attack for Strasbourg. He is far too isolated and none of his partners accompany him.
Long phase of possession of Strasbourg
The ball sails from left to right but remains at the feet of Strasbourg for a few minutes. Vieira’s team looks for imbalance but remains uninspired offensively.
Strasbourg is not discouraged
Le Havre’s opening score provoked a strong reaction from Strasbourg, who finally got into rhythm to respond.
Emegha comes close to equalizing
Le Havre have been on the decline since the opening score. Bakwa is launched in depth and serves Emegha alone in front of goal. The Dutchman does not put enough power into his shot and allows a Le Havre defender to push back the danger in front of his line.
Desmas plays with fire
The goalkeeper receives a complicated ball from Thargalline with a difficult rebound. He tries to free himself but the leather is countered by Emegha. It’s of no consequence but a big alert.
Kechta opens the scoring for Le Havre!
Oh Kechta’s diving header! The little midfielder from Le Havre (1.74m) receives a cross from Casimir and catapults the ball into the net, the HAC goes in front!
Strasbourg parking in the spotlight
Nice atmosphere in the visitor park this afternoon.
Sylla blocks in front of Touré
Casimir controls the area and passes it back to Touré in the middle. The Le Havre rock pulls but Sylla is on the trajectory. There will be a corner.
Possession slightly in favor of the HAC
Le Havre have been concerned since the start of the match and are well into their match. The pressure is on a little more at the feet of Lukas Elsner’s team (57% possession compared to 43% for Strasbourg).
Kechta passes through the ball
The HAC continues to favor rapid attacks at the start of the match. Thargalline serves Kechta in the axis. The small guy in the middle tries his luck with first intention but passes through the ball.
The crossbar for Le Havre!
The first big chance of the match is here! From a corner, Lloris rises higher than everyone and slams a beautiful header which hits Bellaarouch’s crossbar!
Andrey Santos’ powerful strike goes over
The Brazilian on loan from Chelsea benefits from a nice support from Emegha and tries his luck on the edge of the area. It’s above but first alert for the HAC.
Le Havre can put pressure on Metz and Lorient
Le Havre can give themselves a little breathing room in the event of a victory today and above all exert additional pressure on the two direct competitors for maintenance, Metz and Lorient.
Lots of commitment at the start of the match
The duels are bitter. Sissoko arrives with a lot of speed to hinder Lloris’ recovery in defense. Another contact that leaves a player on the ground.
Senaya stays on the ground
The Strasbourg right piston took a committed tackle from Opéri. The game is suspended at this time.
Le Havre wants to mark its territory
Le Havre often starts matches well this season in Ligue 1. Big pressure from Lukas Elsner’s squad.
Let’s go !
The kick-off is given in Le Havre, let’s go for this important match in the race to maintain. It is the people of Strasbourg who make the commitment!
