Football: possession, match but defeat for DFCO against Le Havre

After a streak of three straight wins in September, DFCO scored a second straight defeat on Saturday 2 October at Le Havre (2-0). Patrice Garandi’s players still lack efficiency.

The defeat to Valencia at Stade Gaston Girard on September 24 (0-1) was disappointing. With 19 shots, 5 on goal, 60% possession of the ball, two scores were affected, but there was no goal for DFCO, who scored a stoppage after three consecutive victories.

After five minutes of play at the Océane Stadium on Saturday, October 2, 2021, the DFCO has already touched Le Havre’s quarters twice, in one action, Alex Dobre lining up at the front of the attack with Romain Philippoteaux. The Romanian was really unlucky in this match against Yahya Fofana who was clearly beaten. Before that, Yassine Benzia was anxious in front of the Le Havre cage.

Dijon’s intentions, Le Havre’s success

This evening again, DFCO showed a good face, better than facing Valencia, except that success was on Le Havre’s side in the first period of play. With only a few chances and a goal by Quentin Cornet almost exclusively Dijon. lift.

Now Dijon, despite their intentions and control, have found themselves in a complicated situation, facing Paul Le Guen, who have been unbeaten since August 7, and having conceded only three goals in their last seven matches. Especially since things would have become more difficult a little later, with a penalty kick whistled by Le Havre and scored by Victor Legal.

The features of the match will strengthen Dijon’s dominance in numbers and opportunities, even if the second period, it must be said, was worse than the first for the Dijon players, as they found in front of them a well-organized defense from Le Havre.

Thus, this is the second consecutive defeat and the second consecutive match without a goal for DFCO. Like an ineffective Dijon team, Aurélien Scheidler and Wilitty Younoussa failed to find the opponent’s net at the end of the match.

I hope the truce works…

After 11 days of Ligue 2, DFCO lost 7 defeats including 2 under Patrice Garande. The team occupies 17th place in the standings, 10 points behind third place, which is occupied by Auxerre, and 14 points behind leaders Toulouse.

Let us hope that the new international armistice will be as useful as the first. When this came back, DFCO had three straight wins. On October 16, Amiens reception at Stade Gaston Girard.
