The HAC entry mark!
The people of Le Havre picked up their hosts cold, from the 3rd minute with a goal from Josué Casimirfollowing a save by goalkeeper Alban Lafont on a strike from Issa Soumaré. Enough to first cool down Beaujoire, before warming up the spirits of Nantes supporters. In the 23rd minute, the referee had to interrupt the match for 5 minutes after they threw tennis balls and toilet paper rolls onto the field. Following this first incident, the Nantes players regained control of the game and dominated the rest of the first half, but without scoring.
Returning from the locker room, the match was balanced again, Ciel et Marine created several opportunities and ended up double the lead in the 74th minute. Served on a throw-in, Steve Ngoura turns around, strikes, his shot is deflected by a Nantais player and goes into the net of Alban Lafont (0-2). The Le Havre defense then seriously managed the waves of opposing attacks until added time.
A second and long interruption at the end of the match
It was then that Nantes supporters, in the 92nd minute, tried to invade the pitch. The referee sends all the players back to the locker room and there was a fear that the match would never resume. The police and stewards had to stand in front of the Nantes kop to prevent individuals from invading the pitch. After an interruption of almost half an hour, the meeting was finally able to come to an end.
Thanks to this success, the HAC goes back to 14th place before facing Angers, another competitor in the race to maintain, Sunday December 1 at the Stade Océane.
