Le Havre suffered a bitter blow as they faced off against Nantes in a crucial fixture on the 29th day of Ligue 1. The Norman club, eager to capitalize on Nantes’ recent struggles, aimed to secure a much-needed victory after a dry spell since March 3. However, their hopes were dashed in the dying moments of the game when Kader Bamba found the net in added time, resulting in a heartbreaking 0-1 loss for André Ayew and his teammates.
The defeat comes as a significant setback for Le Havre, who had their sights set on a positive result to reignite their campaign.
Despite a resilient performance that hinted at a potential draw, Nantes’ late strike shattered their aspirations and dealt a heavy blow to their morale.
Reflecting on the disappointing outcome, André Ayew expressed his frustration at conceding a late goal, particularly against a direct competitor.
In an interview with Prime Video, Ayew acknowledged the difficulty of accepting defeat in such circumstances but emphasized the importance of maintaining resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
“A draw would have been fair. We took this goal in the last minutes, it hurts, especially against a direct competitor. But there are still five games left, we must not lower our heads.
We will continue to fight, we have a very important match coming up in a week. But it’s true that when you take this goal in the last minutes, it’s hard,” Ayew conceded.
Despite the disappointment, Ayew remains optimistic about Le Havre’s prospects and is determined to rally his team for the challenges ahead.
With crucial fixtures on the horizon, including a pivotal match in the coming week, Ayew emphasized the need for resilience and unity as they strive to bounce back from the setback against Nantes.
As Le Havre regroups and focuses on their upcoming fixtures, fans eagerly await their response on the pitch, hoping for a resurgence in form that will reignite their campaign in Ligue 1.
