Let it be said once and for all, Sochaux can't do it against the leaders of Ligue 2. After Bordeaux at the end of the year, the FCSM still bit the dust against a contender for the rise in Ligue 1 In the wind and rain of Le Havre where the Yellow and Blue lost 1-0 in the shock at the top of the 18th in Ligue 2. Still 3rd in the standings, Maxence Prévot's teammates still let slip a great opportunity to go back in front of the Girondins, and to pick up the Basques of the Normans with now a 9-point lead in the standings.

Another goal from a corner

With a more defensive team than usual, Sochaux displays the color of entry. He does not want to be trapped on the counter like in Bordeaux And the game plan works, with Le Havre caught in the yellow and blue vice. We say to ourselves that this time the FCSM will stand up to the leader Until this 77th minute and this goal against his camp from Alvero on a Norman corner. Move of mercy ! "It's frustrating to lose like that. We play the match we wanted to play, we knew they were strong from a set piece, it's a balance of power where you need determination, but it's not It's not normal to concede a goal like that" regretted Olivier Guégan after the match.

A mindless attack

Beyond this goal conceded once again from a corner, Sochaux was too uninspired in attack to hope to equalize. The draw would surely have been deserved but the artistic note does not count in football. Losing twice in a row against the first two is obviously very annoying. There is no danger yet in the yellow and blue residence "We must leave with points, but here we are, even if our content is good, in the last 20 meters, we must be more decisive, more efficient, more accurate technique. There are 20 games left, and we will receive all these teams for the return phase, I hope it is a learning phase and that we will really deserve to take points against these teams "concludes the Sochaux coach. The FCSM will indeed have to quickly correct the situation. From Saturday at Bonal against Caen So as not to let Bordeaux and Le Havre soar even more in the standings.
