How far away this second day of the championship against Quevilly Rouen Métropole seems. You have to go back to August 6 to find traces of a home victory for the Parisians (2-1).

Under the drizzle and in the wind, the match took place on a lawn which only deteriorated over the course of the match, which did not favor the development of the game. in the first period, the PFC got more chances than Le Havre, without finding the fault. Upon returning from the locker room, the HAC reversed the trend. Still dominating in the game, the leaders of Ligue 2 have been more successful in putting the Parisian defense in difficulty. At the end of the match, a heavy strike from Hadjam deserved a better fate, but Desmas’ save was magnificent and saved the draw for Le Havre.
“We do not lose on a very complicated ground. On the ground, it’s really carnage on the lawn, ”said Le Havre coach Luka Elsner after the meeting. On this point, Thierry Laurey, coach of the PFC, admitted that “it is obvious that it is not possible to have a good game” although he does not want that to be an excuse. “When you receive the first, you have to be humble. On the whole of the meeting, the draw is logical and we remember that it is a point against the leader, ”he continued.
He also underlined the absence of injured players: “We are not in the best current conditions because we are missing some players. We do not despair of moving up the rankings. »
The Parisians fell one place and are now 10th in Ligue 2, 12 points from Le Havre, which sees Bordeaux come back on its heels after the Girondins’ victory 2 goals to 1 against Sochaux. Only five points now separate the two teams.
