LE MANS, France (Interstat) — Le Mans and visiting Red Star opened their Ligue 2 campaigns with a 0-0 draw at Stade Marie Marvingt on Saturday. The result was a surprise after statistical models heavily favored Le Mans, which was given a 71.1 percent probability to win. The match lacked goals despite a key substitution, as Le Mans’ Kevin Cabral provided a spark off the bench. Cabral later received a yellow card in the 60th minute. The stalemate leaves both clubs with an identical record of one draw in the French second division and across all competitions this season.
