IN THE GREEN
Patron Pierre (7): he kept his own in the game with decisive parries like the distant strike from Youssouf Assogba (7) which started full skylight (49th). Despite the Boulogne domination, and even more after the expulsion of Avounou, the porter responded.
Clarck Chief (7): untenable at the start of the match, it is very close to opening the scoring twice (5th and 7th). If he finds the net on the second, he is finally signaled in an offside position. Despite a drop in speed at the end of the match, he delivered a good copy.
Antoine Hainaut (7): author of a big pressing, the 19-year-old midfielder has recovered many high balls on the field. It is replaced by Jean Vercruysse (78th). A performance that earned him the Actufoot star from the Le Mans staff.
IN THE RED
Durel Avounou (3) : nervous from the start of the match, he was sent off in the 34th minute for a moody gesture on Pierret when his team had just obtained a fault from the central referee. If the result was not directly impacted, Le Mans could have hoped for better in this match.
Herman Moussaki (4) : the striker left free by SM Caen, after a season on loan at USBCO, has struggled to create differences in recent weeks. Less effective than last season, he seems blunt.
