Le Havre pulled off a stunning victory over Auxerre tonight, winning 3-1 at Stade Océane. It was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams playing a powerful game.
Le Havre dominated possession, holding 49% of the ball, and managed more shots on goal (8), creating a number of scoring opportunities. However, Auxerre did well to maintain possession with 51% of the ball and created a number of threats to Le Havre’s goal. It was a fascinating battle in the midfield, as both teams seemed to match up well in that area.
A key moment came in the first half when Le Havre scored a late goal in the 17th minute, putting them ahead. Auxerre battled back, equalizing in the 23rd minute. The second half was a dramatic affair, with a flurry of substitutions from both teams trying to alter the momentum. Le Havre's persistence paid off as they scored twice more in the final stages of the game. One of those goals came from a penalty kick.
Auxerre had some frustrating moments, though. They were a bit unlucky with some disallowed goals, and a red card from K. Hoever in added time to the first half really hurt them and altered their game plan. A yellow card for Auxerre's P. Joly in added time could be considered a defining moment.
Le Havre took advantage of their opportunities, displaying some great attacking and finishing skills, particularly towards the end. A tough game for both sides, but Le Havre emerged as the victors, securing all three points. A memorable night at Stade Océane!
