Angers Fight Back to Hold 10-Man Le Havre in Ligue 1 Draw
Angers SCO came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw against Le Havre AC on Ligue 1 matchday 30, as the visitors were reduced to 10 men late on in an evenly balanced encounter.
Le Havre struck first in the 13th minute through a familiar face to Angers fans. Sofiane Boufal opened the scoring for the visitors, finishing a move created by Issa Soumaré. Boufal’s goal gave Le Havre an early advantage and briefly tilted the momentum their way.
Angers responded before the half-hour mark. In the 28th minute, Prosper Peter levelled the match, converting after good work from Lilian Rao-Lisoa to make it 1-1. That proved to be the final goal of the game, despite both sides pushing to tilt the contest in their favour.
Discipline became a growing concern for Le Havre. Rassoul N’Diaye was shown a yellow card in the 34th minute, followed by another booking for Ayumu Seko on 52 minutes. The pressure eventually told when defender Arouna Sangante was sent off with a straight red card in the 75th minute, leaving Le Havre to defend the draw with 10 men.
Both coaches turned to their benches in the second half, with Angers introducing Emmanuel Biumla, Louis Mouton, Goduine Koyalipou and Lanroy Machine. Le Havre responded with changes including Simon Ebonog, Yassine Kechta, Loïc Nego, Timothee Pembele and Daren Mosengo as they sought to manage the game after going down to 10 men.
Further bookings arrived in stoppage time, with cautions for Louis Mouton and Loïc Nego, underlining a tense finale. The match finished 1-1, a result that leaves both sides sharing the points in the Ligue 1 standings.
