Well, there it is ! If it was legitimate to wonder about the composition of an orphan attack by Jamal Thiaré (injured) at forty-eight hours of this eighth day, Paul Le Guen put everyone in agreement. By aligning the two men in the running, namely Godwin Bentil in point, and Hervé Bazile on the right. The whole, on the basis of a new device, a 3-4-3 finally winning. Which Bazile therefore emerged as the great winner. Him the only scorer of the evening, for his sixth achievement in sky and sea since the summer of 2018, the end of an eighteen-month long scarcity. And a ball pushed with all its might into the back of the net, following a free kick from Cornette who first saw Mayembo make Maraval shine, before Bentil found the bar (26th).
Certainly a release for the Haitian international, failing to be able to announce now the click, the sign, perhaps, that Paul Le Guen finally has in the ex-Caennais a reliable and effective option. This same Bazile was the first last night to try to finally put the HAC in the match, with a dry and framed strike which heated the tips of Maraval’s gloves (17th). Because at this moment of the evening, Dunkirk, in terms of possession, left nothing but crumbs for Le Havre in search of tactical benchmarks. And on the verge of being quickly sanctioned, on this center of Dudouit to the fallout of which Pierre, alone at six meters, completely missed his volley. We had only been playing for fifty-two seconds.
Behind the backs of W. Coulibaly and Ben Mohamed, positioned a notch higher than usual, the Northerners escaped too often, too easily. Fortunately without consequence, but at the end of the first twenty minutes, it was difficult to imagine the Sky and Navy hermetic until the end of the evening. Before the machine gets started little by little, domination changes sides. And that Bazile does not appreciably modify the scenario, does not push the Northerners to run after the score, them who had until then never managed to take even one point after being led. Le Guen’s men, already victorious at Guingamp (3-1, 3rd d.) And Nancy (1-0, 5th d.) Therefore seemed placed on a royal road.

The HAC undergoes, a lot, but holds
But God they had to grit their teeth, elbows, and everything else to hold on. To cross a second period during which they too rarely took the initiative, this period which saw Vialla (74th) and Diarra (79th) harvest two occasions in solid gold. Lekhal and his family strangely agreed to undergo and if Le Guen, by launching Josué Casimir (19 years old), never seen before in Ligue 2, and Ylan Gomes (18 years old), who entered only a few seconds in Guingamp, tried in the 67th minute of ‘bring a little freshness, even carelessness, the HAC never really managed to regain control of the game.
Weak offensively, the USLD never took advantage of its highlights, to the delight of Ciel and Marine, who thus returned to success, after having sunk on the lawn of Paris FC (0-3, 6th j.) And s’ be content with too little against Châteauroux (1-1, 7th d.). The horizon therefore emerges somewhat. It now remains to pile up certainties, very meager all the same on the lawn of Turbit, and to continue from next week during the reception of Pau. Club in favor of which, the same evening as Bazile, Ebenezer Assifuah, the ex-Hacmen, scored his very first goal last night.
The notes :
Gorgelin (6), Mayembo (6) Gibaud (6), Ersoy (6),
W. Coulibaly (6), Mbemba (5,5), Lekhal (5,5), Ben Mohamed (5,5), Bazile (6.5), Bentil (4), Cornette (4).

“A profitable strategy”
Paul Le Guen (coach of
HAC); “We were realistic. We took advantage of one of our rare occasions, but I tend to say that Dunkirk didn’t have a lot either. We expected this kind of match and we defended well. The strategy was different from the one we implemented in Paris, it paid off. I do not know if we will renew it all the time, but I am very happy, because we succeeded by dint of courage, with a team cut off by a few players. It is a beautiful accounting operation. As for the young people, they intervened with great courage and commitment. ”
Nolan Mbemba (HAC midfielder): “We played a men’s match, with an irreproachable state of mind. We scored, we all held together until the end. It is a victory that can do good. ”
