Everdon Sport claimed a 2-0 victory over Créans in the Challenge League's third round on Thursday evening. The result keeps the visitors unbeaten after seven matches while Créans drop further behind in the standings. Etienne Gagnon watched the game unfold and noted how the early own goal set the tone for what followed.
Créans opened the scoring through an unfortunate moment of their own. Y. B. Diet bundled the ball into his net in the thirty-eighth minute, giving Everdon Sport the lead they would need. The home side had already seen L. Sliskovic come on as a substitute seventeen minutes in, but the change did little to shift momentum.
Everdon Sport's second goal came through V. Kongsro in the sixty-seventh minute. By then the visitors had controlled possession at fifty-eight per cent and created more chances than their hosts. Créans managed five shots on target but could only find the net themselves through that early misfortune.
The statistics tell a story of different approaches. Créans made thirty-seven passes into the final third while Everdon Sport pushed one hundred and four forward. The visitors blocked five shots and made thirty-eight clearances, showing they were prepared to defend their advantage when Créans pushed late.
Créans sit fifth with ten points from seven games. A win on Thursday would have lifted them, but the loss leaves them three points behind the teams above. Everdon Sport remain second with fifteen points and have not lost a single match this season.
