The HAC signed a spectacular victory over Lorient this Sunday as part of the 4th day of L1 (3-0). Lille also won the three points in front of Montpellier (1-0).

Pugnacious at the start of the season, capable of holding off Montpellier or Rennes, the promoted Le Havre scored his first success of the season this Sunday as part of the 4e lifting of Ligue 1. It was to the detriment of Lorient that the Normans made the difference, in large widths, thanks to Kuzyaev (53e), Alioui (70e) and Mbemba (90e+6).

Le Havre thus invites itself into the first part of the table, just ahead of Les Hakes, Paris – temporarily – Toulouse or even Metz, which at the same time held Reims (2-2) in check. Diakity (17e) and Teuma (52e) nevertheless allowed the Champenois to turn the tide after the Lorraine opener from Sabaly (7e). Jallow having finally allowed the Grenats to obtain the sharing of points (63e). This confines the Rémois to third place in the elite, one point behind OM and three points behind Monaco.

A goal finally disallowed for an offside position by Yeboah (88e). The Pailladins thus remaining 13e of the elite.
