Les Aiglons tightened their grip as Cho added a second (29.) and Sofiane Diop made it three (40.). Les Canaris posted 55.6% possession and 20 attempts, but Les Aiglons were clinical from seven efforts. Les Aiglons also added a late fourth in the third minute of second half stoppage time through Tom Louchet, rising from 15th to 13th, and they visit Ludogorets in the Europa League next, while Les Canaris go to Lorient next.

Stat of the Match: Les Aiglons converted all four shots on target, highlighting ruthless finishing.

Three Things We Learned: A three-goal first half gave Les Aiglons the platform to control the game. Les Canaris created volume with 20 attempts and 55.6% of the ball but lacked the edge to turn pressure into goals. Ending an eight-match winless Ligue 1 run and a five-game away losing streak, Les Aiglons added a timely lift in the table.
