France-Borren came from behind to beat Lège 2-1 at home in the first round of the Challenger Pro League. The away side took the lead in the closing stages after M. Bastian had given the hosts an advantage.
Bastian put Lège ahead in the forty-seventh minute, finishing a move that caught the visitors off guard. To be fair, France-Borren had controlled the tempo before that, but the break came too early for their defence to organise.
Ruiz Atil levelled in the sixty-fourth minute, and here's the thing - the momentum shifted completely after that. France-Borren pressed harder, and Lège found themselves chasing the game again.
Bruggeman thought he had restored the lead when his effort was disallowed for offside in the seventieth minute. Lavie eventually got his reward in stoppage time, ninety minutes plus seven seconds in, to finish the job.
The numbers tell an interesting story. Lège held 60 per cent possession but managed only six shots on target compared to France-Borren's eight. The visitors registered more attacks - 102 to 85 - and converted their chances better.
France-Borren accumulated four yellow cards compared to Lège's two, but the extra bookings came from sustained pressure rather than recklessness. The away side tightened things up after the equalizer, and Lège's substitutions, including removing Faucon in the sixty-fifth minute, didn't change the trajectory.
France-Borren move up to sixth place with six points from three matches, while Lège remain in tenth with just three points. The result extends the visitors' winning start to the campaign and leaves the hosts searching for consistency.
