Ajorque haunts Junior Mwanga as Brest beat Le Havre 2-1
Ludovic Ajorque helped create both Brest goals in a 2-1 win over Le Havre, where Junior Mwanga was involved in the first and sent off before halftime.
Ludovic Ajorque was the standout story of Le Havre vs Brest in the third round of Ligue 1, a match that ended 2-1 for the visitors. As LâĂquipe reports, the forward was involved in both goals that swung the game and repeatedly proved a problem for Le Havreâs back line.
The game turned early
In its match notes, LâĂquipe points out that Ajorque played a part in the 1-0 goal, in an action where Junior Mwanga was implicated in Le Havreâs first conceded. From that moment, the duel shifted: Mwanga struggled to manage Ajorqueâs impact, and Brestâs pressure grew.
Then came the decisive moment before half-time: the same source says Junior Mwanga was sent off before the break, forcing Le Havre to deal with the rest of the match a man down. With that handicap, their chances to take control faded quickly.
Ajorqueâs double involvement
LâĂquipe also underlines how Ajorque affected the game in a way that goes beyond one momentâhe disrupted, threatened, and linked the attacking phases that led to Brestâs advantage. The final score confirms it: with both goals involving Ajorque and a red card before halftime, Brest carried the day in a first-half that effectively decided the tie.
