Le Havre AC remain winless after another defeat, 3-2 away to Toulouse on Saturday 19 September. The loss drops them to 17th place in the Ligue 1 table, with just two points from five matches.
The verdict is clear. The Norman side have suffered three defeats since the start of the season and are still searching for a first victory. They now sit 18th in the standings, eleven points behind leaders Monaco, and their next trip to Lille on 10 October looks daunting.
The match at the Stadium turned in two minutes. Casper Tengstedt opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 49th minute before doubling the lead two minutes later from a Thomas Jorgensen assist. Josh Maja pulled one back for Le Havre in the 71st minute, but Jorgensen restored the two-goal cushion eight minutes later. Mbwana Ally Samatta, Le Havre's top scorer this season with two goals, netted a second for the visitors late on (88th).
"Les Havrais drop to 17th and second-to-last place," the club noted. With a recent run of LDLDL, the team must find solutions quickly before the season resumes. The fixtures schedule shows a trip to Lille, currently fourth, after the international break. The full squad list will be scrutinised for fresh impetus.
