Key Moments

The second goal, arriving before Valenciennes had found a reply, created the two-goal buffer that later absorbed a man disadvantage and a consolation strike. The red card with four minutes of normal time left was the real swing. It invited Valenciennes forward when time was short, and they did convert that window. The reply still came too late to complete a comeback.
