“Prosper Peter heads home from close range to give Angers the lead just before halftime, capitalizing on a spell of pressure after Troyes had gone close moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Amine Sbaï adds a third for Angers with a close-range finish, effectively ending Troyes' hopes of a comeback despite their territorial pressure.”

Outstanding performance
Angers SCO•MidfielderAngers controlled the game territorially with 61% possession and 495 passes at 86% accuracy, but it was their efficiency in front of goal that made the difference against a Troyes side who actually created more danger, out-shooting them 19-12 and racking up 61 dangerous attacks to Angers' 38. Prosper Peter's header just before the break gave the hosts a lead their overall control merited, and further goals from Amine El Ouazzani and Amine Sbaï in the second half turned a tight contest into a comfortable win. Troyes, bottom of the table and struggling for form, will be frustrated by their wastefulness, managing just 3 shots on target despite dominating corners 11-2 and generating far more attacking pressure. For Angers, the result offers a rare bright spot given their lowly position, while Troyes' defeat deepens their relegation worries with ten changes made across the second half unable to spark a comeback.
