Dream 18: Luka Elsner stares down his first defeat since last August on the road at his former club, then…
When Le Havre lost away to Valenciennes on 6 August last year, nobody could have imagined that what followed would be what followed. This was in fact the last defeat Le Havre has suffered in the French Ligue 2 since then. A squad led from the bench by a Slovenian expert Luka Elsner, has been on an impressive run of results, and on Saturday extended its unbeaten streak to 18 games. But Luka Elsner was actually staring defeat in the face on the road at his former club. Le Havre was rescued in Amiens just before the deadline.
The hosts, who were also managed by Luka Elsner in Ligue 1, took the lead in 10. In the first minute, an own goal by the visiting player Victor Lekhal. Le Havre equalised 78 minutes later, just before the end of regulation time, when Jamal Thiare scored after a pass from Gautier Lloris. Interestingly, this was the only shot on target by the former coach’s squad.
Domžale
and Olimpija’s team in this match! Le Havre had the ball in their possession (62:38), but the hosts took far more shots than their opponents (15:9).
Le Havre are seven points ahead of Bordeaux in first place in Ligue 2 after 20 games. The latter is the next opponent against whom Luka Elsner will lead his team. The match will be played in Bordeaux on Tuesday at 20:45.
