Dramatic Stoppage-Time Goal Lifts Le Mans to Season-Opening Victory
LE MANS, France (Interstat) — Samuel Yohou scored in the second minute of stoppage time to deliver Le Mans a 1-0 victory over Boulogne in a Ligue 2 match Friday at Stade Marie Marvingt. The decisive goal came just moments after Boulogne’s Hervé Touré received a yellow card, breaking a deadlock in the season opener for both clubs. The result defied the projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 1-1 draw. Le Mans entered the match with a 68.80 percent probability to win according to the same service’s ELO rating system. The physical contest featured four yellow cards. Both teams now hold 0-0 records in the competition following the fixture.
