THE MATCH

In the second half, Le Havre quickly made the break (2-0, 50'). Stung but far from being defeated, the capital club's U19s got back on level terms on the hour-mark thanks to a superb double from Djeidi Gassama, scored in the space of two minutes (2-1, 60'; 2-2, 62'). However, just as the Parisians thought they would be going home with a draw, the Normans struck again to snatch the victory in the very last seconds of the match (3-2, 90').
