But where will the Hakes stop? Lorient continued its excellent start to the season by winning at the promoted Auxerrois (1-3), Friday September 16, for the first match of the eighth day of Ligue 1. The Bretons made the difference from the first period with three goals from Dango Ouattara, Terem Moffi and Enzo Le Fée. With one more meeting, they climb on the Ligue 1 podium, with 19 points, like the leaders, PSG and OM.

– FC LORIENT (@FCLorient) September 16, 2022
This FCL is definitely the surprise team at the start of the championship. The visitors took advantage of the Auxerre defense, always too tender, since the return of AJA to the top flight. Because the Yonne players had opportunities and possession of the ball. But Lorient proved lethal to convert their chances in the first half. The first two goals were consecutive to bad reminders of the defense of Auxerre, guilty of having lost the ball near his goal to better be punished.
The locals showed pride on returning from the locker room by reducing the gap thanks to Gauthier Hein (50th). But this jump was too little to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat. In Morbihan, on the other hand, everything is going well with a fourth success in a row. The leg of Régis le Bris, his desire to see his team evolve as a whole and a more direct game forward, already seems to be bearing fruit.
19 – Régis Le Bris has taken 19 points in his first 8 games as a Ligue 1 manager, the best total for a French manager at this stage in the 21st century. Bright. #AJAFCL pic.twitter.com/zF61VKuRQd
