Luka Elsner couldn’t have wished for a better conclusion to the calendar year at his home stadium. Not only did his Le Havre defeat Nice, currently holding the second position in Ligue 1, but they also accounted for a third of all goals conceded by Nice in this year’s championship.
The hosts took the lead just five minutes into the game when Emmanuel Sabbi put the rebound into the visitors’ net. The American forward found the net again half an hour later, extending his team’s advantage and setting the halftime score.
Immediately at the start of the second half, the home team earned a penalty, successfully converted by the assistant to the second goal, Mohamed Bayo. A bit of a scuffle occurred in the 80th minute between Samuel Grandsir and Jean Clair Todibo after a mutual contact. The referee didn’t tolerate such behavior, sending both main actors off the field prematurely. An honorable goal for the visiting team was scored by substitute Tom Louchet in stoppage time.

In the second half, Elsner made use of all five substitutions available to him. The final appearance of the Slovenian coach and his team in 2023 awaits on Wednesday, as they visit direct rival Reims.
