What a waste! While the Stade Malherbe de Caen had a two-goal lead at the hour mark on the Red Star pitch this Friday, October 18, the Normans were joined at the very end of the match (2-2) during the 9th day of Ligue 2.
The evening started perfectly for Nicolas Seube’s players. With a brilliant inspiration from his right foot, the young Lebreton gave the Caennais the advantage shortly before the quarter of an hour of play. They doubled the lead (0-2, 63′) through Gomis, well served from the left by Mendy
wants to stop its negative spiral. The Normans are on a series of two consecutive defeats suffered before the international break, against Guingamp (3-1) and Lorient (1-2).
Malherbe players have been in trouble more generally since the start of the season, since they have only won two matches. They only have seven units on the clock, for a poor 14th place.
