Valenciennes: the hero is called Cuffaut
It was Valenciennes who led by example. Saturday in Toulouse, in a match counting for the tenth day of Ligue 2, Olivier Guégan’s team, led 2-0 then 3-2, did not give up to return twice to the score, pass in front (3- 4), recover in turn from an equalizer (4-4) and finally win 4-5 a thrilling match from start to finish. His hero is Joffrey Cuffaut (32), author of a quadruplet while he was playing at the right-back position, which makes him enter directly into the history of northern football. He gets the score of 10/10, like Steve Savidan in 2007 after his quadruple in Nantes for VA against Fabien Barthez (2-5). And thanks to him, VA is revived.
In the end, this Toulouse – Valenciennes (4-5) offered nine goals, the best score of the day.
Lille: the strong one is called Yilmaz
Still stunned by their starry dreams after their historic success Wednesday in Milan (0-3), the Lille arrived an hour late in Brest, which cost them their first defeat of the season in all competitions after taking the tide in first period (3-0). Shaken at the break, Christophe Galtier’s players recovered and managed to score two goals thanks to Burak Yilmaz (35), author of the double of hope and very close to bringing a point on the end with a shot on the post (90th). The Turkish striker has shown that unlike some of his teammates, the Champions League spotlight has not made his head spin. Strong.
This Brest – Toulouse (3-2) reports five goals.
Lens: the savior is called Sotoca
Last to play, Lens went through all the emotions to snatch a point against Reims (4-4). In the lead at half-time (1-0), Franck Haise’s players plunged in the second half and found themselves twice behind in score (1-2, 54th), then 2-3 (79th) and even 2 -4 (81st) ten minutes from the end when it all seemed over. It was bad to know these Blood and Gold, who showed a sacred character to come back thanks to a fantastic double from Florian Sotoca (30 years old) in one minute. A pricked head (90th) then another uncrossed (90th +1). Like Yilmaz, Sotoca even almost went for a third goal since he is in the game on the penalty finally refused (90th +3).
Lens – Brest (4-4) achieves a very nice score with eight goals.
The account is good
Which makes us 9 + 5 + 8, or 22 goals in total. The account is good. The show was too, even if in terms of results there is only one victory for Lens, mixed feelings for Lens and frustration at LOSC.
