F91 Dudelange lost 0:2 to UNA Strassen in the National Division's regular season stage two on Sunday. The visitors kept their perfect start to the campaign intact while the hosts added to their woes.
UNA Strassen moved further clear at the top with the victory. They sit six points ahead of anyone after six games, though they have dropped points in two of their last three outings. F91 Dudelange remain rooted to 11th place with only six points from their opening six matches.
The match was not without incident for the visitors. UNA Strassen received a red card during the game, a disciplinary blemish on an otherwise clean sheet of yellow cards for both sides. And here's the thing — the dismissal arrived but the result was never in doubt. F91 Dudelange failed to create enough to exploit the numerical advantage.
The hosts have not won since their 2:0 victory over Mammer on 22 July. Their last two fixtures have both ended 0:2, first against Atert Bissen and then against UN Kayen 97. Four defeats in their past six games leave them well adrift of the upper half.
UNA Strassen's record of six wins from six games remains unchallenged. They have scored heavily in some of these results, including a 4:0 win over Victoria Rosport on 4 August, though they have also endured scoreless draws against Partizan. The red card does not dent their standing — they are still unbeaten and still leading.
