03:58oh it's great from Casimir puts Sissoko on the deck and it's a penalty
04:03not a moment's hesitation from Florian Bata Tapia ending up well he's headed
04:17the feet of Casimir not usually going to give away a penalty with your head

05:54Sissoko finds Masson tries to poke it through that's a good touch and strike through
06:02the block stopping the attack for a moment Catherault he got his wedge all wrong there
06:11and now La Havre will want to break Chagalline oh just brilliantly to just
06:17initiate the contact and then strut away reverse ball to Zouhari
06:28oh that's poked through nicely they've got two options here
06:31Zouhari falls to Nejo but he got right under it
06:40heading on but before that they could find a way back on level terms Catherault
06:46it's just a bit of the impetus lost but that's rejected by that was just really
06:53lovely footwork and a desperate clearance fired to the crowd for Tadou but
06:59couldn't find the bottom corner we want them to pick the right moments and Mouton might have picked
07:05his ear well Benjamin Old was rushing in Nemas had to hold on and now Zouhari delivers the corner
07:15headed in and it's the captain who's leading them to the corner to celebrate
07:22and on his Ligue 1 debut Yanis Zouhari also with an assist
07:31and then a wicked delivery but on the line
07:37Dalio would want better but it's snuck through Catherault and now La Havre have a mountain to climb
07:44one captain seeing a corner giving away for a slip
07:56Sankanti lacks captain they are doggedly sitting in switching though to
08:04what's normally their back four Zouhari gets caught out though that is a wonderful
08:11challenge from Nejo on his own goal line and stopped a certain goal clearances but La Havre
08:20can try and reset but now a chance goes left goes right drives it across
08:28Wajih couldn't get on target and Benjamin oh just dancing through now they've got the numbers
08:34four on four goes himself Pesta begging the question
08:38why La Havre might want to finish this on a high is the flag going to go up
