As against Rodez on August 13, the Crocos won their match by the smallest of margins. In a match that will not go down in the annals of Ligue 2 (especially the first period), Moussa Koné distinguished himself by scoring his second goal of the season in the space of a week. Well launched in depth by N’Guessan, who is gradually gaining power, the number 65 from Nîmes wins his face to face with Alexis Sauvage, the Mayenne goalkeeper and offers the right three points to NO (1-0, 54th). The only black spot of the evening is the injury to the right thigh of captain Benoît Poulain who should be arrested for at least a month. Ronny Labonne, who was celebrating his first start at home, is happy with the outcome of the match: “If we can win like that until the end of the season, that’s fine with me! It was very, very important to win because last week, we lost in Dijon by playing a good match. There we made a solid match in front of our home crowd. It was important to win in front of them because they supported us well. Compared to Rodez and the 1-0 success, I think the match was tougher, we were all solid together. This victory is more beautiful than the one against Rodez!”
