Lorient vs. Montpellier

While Montepellier enjoyed long spells of possession, Lorient were far more effective in the final third with an effort from Yann Jouffre setting the tone in the first half.

Montpellier had their moments in front of the home goal with Souleymane Camara blasting off target after a long goal kick from Jourdren had set him in the clear.A speculative Joris Marveaux shot was being their best moment of the first half.

However, the game changed totally in the second half with Lorient's early pressure would lead to their opponents scoringcome from Lorient.

Alberto Costa would strike in a corker from 25-yards, making amends for missing MHSC’s opening game of the season due to suspension.

Costa, would then see his attempted shot from the edge of the box repelled by Fabien Audard.

However, a near post flick would find Emir Spahic at the back post to knock in. But moments later Lorient made a game out of the match when Kevin Gameiro would force himself between the centre-backs and score to get the home side into the game.

A fine play between Gameiro and Monterubbio in stoppage time would produce an opening for Laurent Koscielny to head home at the back post to salvage a well deserved point.
