The Le Havre AC Chronicle
Match7 Nov 2026
No end in sight to Le Havre AC's wait for a win
12 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Le Havre AC has to find a result from somewhere.

Lionel Mpasi stands alone
10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Stephan Zagadou puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Le Havre AC, and it is not being withdrawn.

Andrés Vombergar in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Le Havre AC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nobody could get near Sota Nakamura
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Yann Fernandez answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The manager makes an example of Guy Noël Zohouri
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
