Elversberg beat Lorient 4-1 in a club friendly on Friday evening. The match took place at the home ground on the fifteenth of August 2026. It was not a competitive fixture, but the result still tells you something about where these sides stand.
L. Poreba opened the scoring in the thirteenth minute and that set the tone. M. Kone doubled the advantage before half-time, making it 2-0 by the thirty-first minute. Lorient got a yellow card in the thirty-sixth minute, and that was the only booking for the visitors in that first half.
The second half did not slow down. N. Darvich found the net in the forty-seventh minute, extending the lead to three goals. L. Schnellbacher added another in the fifty-second, and C. Campbell scored the fifth goal of the evening in the sixty-third minute. By then, the contest was decided.
Both sides had roughly equal possession at 50 per cent each. Elversberg registered 48 attacks compared to Lorient's 49, with five corners to two. The hosts kept their discipline with no yellow cards, while the visitors picked up one.
The win moves Elversberg into a good rhythm after their recent results. They had drawn with Mallorca, beaten Strasbourg 5-2, and won against NEC Nijmegen. Lorient came into this game with mixed form, including a defeat to Angers and a victory over Union Football Pro.
