In the Saturday match between Evian Thonon Gaillard and Valenciennes, it was the Haut-Savoyards who secured a crucial victory, clinching three points with a late goal. Modou Sougou, the Senegalese forward who joined from Marseille this summer, emerged as the hero by netting the sole goal of the match in the 83rd minute.
Valenciennes, despite the appointment of a new coach in Belgian Ariel Jacobs, continues to struggle to find their form. Jacobs has yet to unlock the puzzle of rejuvenating the Northern team. On the other side, Evian TG, in need of points, found reassurance in this win. Coach Pascal Dupraz, speaking on Canal+, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “This evening, the players and staff were rewarded!”
Modou Sougou, showcasing his prowess in his new colors, scored his second goal since joining Evian Thonon Gaillard. His previous goal came against Montpellier, contributing to the team’s positive momentum.
