Angers SCO
Outstanding performance
Angers SCO•GoalkeeperLe Havre controlled the game territorially and in shot volume, racking up 16 attempts to Angers' 9 and forcing six saves from the visiting goalkeeper, but couldn't find the breakthrough despite creating a big chance and dominating tackles at 22 to 7. Angers, content to sit deep and absorb pressure with 54% possession built more through patient build-up than incision, offered little going forward with just one shot on target all match. The contest was largely shapeless after the break, with nine substitutions between the 63rd and 90th minutes disrupting any rhythm as both managers shuffled their packs looking for a spark that never arrived. A stalemate that leaves both mid-table sides with a point apiece, extending Le Havre's frustration at converting pressure into goals while Angers will take satisfaction from another clean sheet on the road.
