Stade Lavallois was able to react after its illogical defeat last Friday at home against Bourg-en-Bresse. The Tango went to win on the lawn of Sedan, 1-0, inflicting the Ardennes their first defeat at home. This is the fourth consecutive away success (each time with a score of 1-0) for the Mayenne club, which is extremely rare. We have to go back to the 1975/1976 season (Division 2) to find traces of such a series!
Durbant’s 8th goal
No goal was scored in the first period while the Laval residents mastered the situation with, in particular, a great opportunity to Julien maggiotti on a cross from the left.
The Tangos were able to be patient in the second half. And against National’s best defense, he’s the home scorer, Geoffray Durbant who settled the situation by scoring his eighth goal of the season, following a great collective action with a crossEdson Seidou slightly deviated by Jimmy Roye.
This success allows Laval to come back to the height of its evening opponent with 20 points and to stay in contact with the leading teams.
A long return by coach awaited the players and the staff before returning to the Gandonnières plain this Friday afternoon. Because on Sunday, Stade Lavallois puts on the warming blue. The 6th round of the Coupe de France with a trip – shorter this one – to Vertou in Loire-Atlantique.
The coach’s reaction
For the Laval coach, Olivier Frapolli, “this victory is deserved throughout the match. We multiplied the chances in the second half and we were able to score on a strong moment.“
