Sochaux edged out Guingamp 1-0 in Ligue 2, taking the points despite seeing far less of the ball. Boubacar Fofana's early goal settled a match in which the hosts sat deep and defended stubbornly.
Fofana put Sochaux ahead in the 14th minute, converting after Saad Agouzoul's assist. Guingamp dominated territory and created more chances from there, but found the home defence and goalkeeper in determined form. Six yellow cards were shown across the two sides, though none altered the flow of the contest.
The numbers underline how lopsided the contest was: Guingamp had 67% possession and 16 shots to Sochaux's eight, with six shots on target to three. Sochaux were outplayed but took their big chance, rode their luck, and came away with a valuable win.
