00:00Welcome to the Stade Océan, it is Le Havre against Angers, two sides looking to get away
00:08from the bottom part of the table in the first match between these two sides in Ligue 1 McDonald's
00:13for over 30 years. The last time back in March 1994 resulted in a 2-1 win for Le Havre right
00:22here or at least not here, this is the new stadium but here in Le Havre.
00:30Le Havre return from the international break with three points last weekend however it was
00:40not the same thing for Angers, they lost before the international break, they lost after it as
00:45well in his third season with Le Havre. It's going to be Bombardier, the former Marseille
00:53man who hits it straight into the wall and the referee's going to stop play because a Le Havre
00:59player. That's a good ball through and a chance here for Océan to create something, good ball in,
01:10first real chance at either end, Desmas managing but for that the gap on international might well
01:17have had his first goal for his new club. Relegated with Clermont last season, looking for better now
01:24with the Loire Valley side, El Malaly with a great ball into the middle and a good save by
01:32the Le Havre shot stopper. Fence from Angers has been a lot higher up the pitch than Le Havre's
01:37has been, that's been lost though and Le Havre managed to pick it up now on the transition.
01:44Sabi, unable to take advantage in recent years, trying to make sure that they stay a little bit
01:55longer this season. On the attack now, Touré, Touré from distance.
02:01It's the centre-back again, muscled off the ball though, well by Ahalou. Angers trying to set
02:15something up and it's just wide, terrific defending. Angers nil, Angers pushing here
02:28with a set-piece, taken low into the middle, Bombardier with the attempted half-volley and
02:34Kourzayef sends it behind for another set-piece. Touré I don't think was expecting that ball back
02:39again. Kazimir again, he switched over to the left-hand side, here is Touré, Touré and second
02:48shot from distance and a second time that he doesn't find the target. The American, he's the
02:54one-man wall. In by Hanna, back post. Bombardier tried to produce the acrobatic but that wasn't
03:04his servant. That ball there, it's going to get cut out by Ute, is it? Oh, he's not got there.
03:14Ball intercepted by El Malaly, oh and it could have gone anywhere. Coutinho-Lloris didn't know
03:19where it had gone. Unfortunately for him, Desmas did. Not a good play coming from both sides but
03:24like we've seen throughout the season. Oh, hello. We're going to have a look to see whether there
03:30was a handball. He doesn't seem to know where he is, to be honest with you, he's so discombobulated.
03:38This one could go. No penalty. Referee sticking with his original non-decision. Hanna. Abdeli
03:54again, it'll ding ball through for the left-back who goes for the far post and very nearly finds it.
04:02On the run is Hanna. Hanna manages to get the ball in as well. It's all the way across and
04:13wide by Bombardier, a second chance. Good ball out and all of a sudden Abdeli has it. He's
04:18running away from Kozeyev. Little ball through, real chance here. Great save Desmas. And through
04:29the next man. Coach Duje screaming but the referee's blown for half-time. It's been a
04:40combative and entertaining first half. Off we go then. Oh no, false start. Kick-off,
04:51second half. Andre Ayoub started legging it upfield there before the ball had actually been
04:57tipped. Christopher Perry, who has sent over a hundred crosses into the box now this season,
05:06sends in a cross here from the corner kick and it's plucked off the line by Fofana.
05:19In it comes then, looking and there's the first goal and it's the former Le Havre man.
05:28Abdeli doesn't celebrate, unlike the fans of Onji.
05:41Well it was a great delivery over everybody. El Malaly has been superb in the game. Nobody
05:47picking up. Abdeli in the middle and it's a simple finish for his fourth goal of the campaign.
05:58Be helpful again. Looks like it will stand. Hamid Abdeli scores against his former side.
06:14Six and a half minutes to go. Time running out for Le Havre as a Perry sends in the corner
06:19kick. It's Abdeli, the goal scorer though, who has cleared it. Catched up. Carry on of Perry,
06:26nice little move. Oh no, I'm not sure that Pemberley getting out help but it's going to
06:31work out. In it comes. It's over the top of Touré and well that's wasting time I guess.
06:44Even behind Gautier-Loris who sets it up to Joujou. Joujou gets away from one man but the
06:50trouble is he's got Arcus in front of him. He gets the football in though. Magnificent
06:55defensive header. Christopher Perry as usual on set-piece duty. A Perry launched it long,
07:05it's a decent trajectory. Loris gets there. So too does Bomba though and runs away. More
07:10good play though in defence. Bad post. Good play by Touré off of Yutei Kinkue for a corner
07:27and that should probably do it I would think. Leung might have been offside anyway.
07:41Well the full-time whistle has gone and Didier Diga has to swallow defeat after victory last
07:49week. Former star Abdele came back to haunt his former employees with the goal on 63 minutes as
07:56it finishes the half nil. Angers nil. They swap places in the drop zone.
