After two consecutive defeats and three away games in a row without a single point, Le Havre visited Lens on Saturday and surprised many. Luka Elsner and his team remained unbeaten, which is truly surprising, considering that Le Havre is fighting to avoid relegation from Ligue 1, while Lens is aiming for a breakthrough into Europe. Despite a 15-point difference between the two clubs, the encounter at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium ended in a 1-1 draw.
Le Havre secured a valuable point in the 78th minute when Emmanuel Sabbi scored his fifth goal of the season from the penalty spot. Despite the draw, Elsner’s club remains in dangerous waters. Le Havre is currently in 14th place in the standings of the French top league, which still ensures survival. However, they have only a two-point lead over Lorient, who are currently in the relegation playoff spot.
Luka Elsner will face one of the key battles for survival in the next round (April 14), when they host Nantes at home. The club of experienced goalkeeper Denis Petrić is one place ahead of Le Havre on the table, with the two teams tied on points. Therefore, a victory will count double then.
