American winger Emmanuel Sabbi’s long wait to celebrate his first Ligue 1 goals came to an end on Saturday.
Sabbi scored twice in Le Havre’s 3-1 home triumph over Nice, earning Man of the Match honors for the French club. It marked Sabbi’s first goal involvements for Le Havre since joining from Danish side Odense last summer.
The 25-year-old needed only five minutes to break the deadlock for the hosts, roofing a left-footed shot into the top-right corner. It was Sabbi’s first overall goal since —.
After propelling Le Havre into the lead, Sabbi doubled his tally and his team’s lead before halftime. Mohamed Bayo’s pass was gathered by Sabbi in the box before the U.S. men’s national team attacker drilled a right-footed shot into the top-right corner.

Bayo would add Le Havre’s third goal in the 51st minute, giving them a 3-0 advantage early in the second half.
Nice pulled a consolation goal back in second-half stoppage time, but Le Havre would walk away with a fourth league triumph of the season.
Sabbi also won four duels, drew one foul, and completed eight of 10 passes.
Ninth-place Le Havre next travels to Stade Reims on Dec. 20 in its final match of the calendar year.
