Given that we had been the worst (and perhaps even the worst of the worst in all eras combined) in L1 the season before, this statistic deserves to be highlighted for the exercise which ended three weeks ago with the failure in the race for the dams, noted however at the penultimate day. The MHSC, despite a very common 8th final place, shares this honor with the promoted Le Mans thanks to 31 goals conceded over the 34 championship days of this reconstruction season, a total corresponding precisely to its best defensive record on a championship with 18 clubs since the 2001-02 L1 season (31 goals conceded there too).
No stranger to this fact, Simon Ngapandouetnbu, author of 12 clean sheets in 31 matches played (and became international A in the spring) is not only the goalkeeper with the best ratio of saves/shots taken (79%), but he is also one of the only three goalkeepers to have exceeded the 100 saves mark. made (101) with Quentin Braat (124) and Mamadou Diop (106).
It should also be noted that the MHSC, although beaten 11 times, has never suffered a defeat by more than two goals, and has conceded only 1 penalty (against Boulogne in the 7th day, 1-3 at La Mosson). Other notable facts to remember, 8 matches in a row without defeat (from the 25th to the 32nd day) and therefore only 1 defeat (that against Clermont in 33rd) in the last 10 official meetings to date. The departure of Bećir Omeragić in February ultimately appeared to be fairly well digested.
