Christophe Galtier would no doubt have liked that the violent gusts which chased the clouds above the Moustoir and allowed this shock of the 14th day to be played under a brilliant sun also carried away the doubts which accompany the last outings of his team.

He will have to hang on to the final result (2-1) and the success offered by a late goal from Danilo.

Finally, carried by an enthusiastic public, the Hakes equalized by Moffi author of a magnificent cross shot from the left (1-1, 53rd).

As usual, the public then loudly celebrated the passage in the 56th minute, in connection with the Morbihan number.

It was then that Moffi had the opportunity to give his team the advantage but his recovery shattered on the bar (57th).

Lorient had just missed his chance.

Because on a new corner struck by Neymar, Danilo, rose high in the air to place a victorious header (1-2, 81st).

In a tense end to the match, Mbappé was cautiously called back to the bench.

He left the lawn in the 84th under a few whistles and grimacing after the rough treatment of the Lorient defenders.

There is only one meeting left before the World Cup, next Sunday, also at 1 p.m.

By then, the Parisians will have been able to breathe with a few days of rest.

This will give them the opportunity to follow the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League on Monday.
