Stade Lavallois could have carried out the very very good operation of the 25th day of National. The Tango, thanks to Geoffray Durbant (3rd minute, 14th goal), led 1-0 and held this score throughout the evening. Well almost.
Sauvage’s injury exit
Before that, many game facts. From the 10th minute, a clash in the air between the goalkeeper Alexis Sauvage and striker Thomas Robinet. Sauvage took an elbow to the face and remained on the ground for long minutes, blood on his mouth. An interruption of more than five minutes until replacement by Maxim Oboe. Assessment for Alexis Sauvage, five stitches in the lower lip. The player, who stayed for a long time to be treated in the locker room, believes that he will be able to play again on Friday.
Another important fact in this match, the expulsion of midfielder Ferris N’Goma in the 24th minute. At 11 against 10, Stade Lavallois manages but does not score the second goal.
At 11 against 9
And at the very end of the game, it was Adama Mbengue’s turn to leave his partners for a second yellow card. At nine against eleven, Stade Lavallois only had four minutes left to win a prestigious success. But it was without counting on the striker, Thomas Robinet who scored his fifteenth goal two minutes from the end of added time. So obviously, sharing the points in Châteauroux is not a bad result. But this scenario leaves Laval residents with regret.
The Tango will have the opportunity to improve this draw on Friday with the reception of Sète.
The reaction
At the end of the meeting, the Laval coach, Olivier Frapolli was angry after the refereeing decisions.
