Herve Bazile brace inspires Caen win against Evian TG

Two goals from Herve Bazile have helped Caen to a narrow 3-2 home win against Evian TG which has secured them 13th place in Ligue 1.

Caen did not take the lead until the 60th minute when Bazile turned Emiliano Sala's cross beyond the reach of Benjamin Leroy.

Within moments, the Normandy outfit doubled their advantage when Modou Sougou inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.

By the 68th minute, Caen appeared to be out of sight when Bazile scored his second of the game following Thomas Lemar's cross.

Evian pulled a goal back four minutes from time through Olivier Sorlin, which appeared to be a mere consolation.

However, they scored again in the third minute of injury time as Sougou atoned for his earlier own goal, but Caen managed to hold on to finish just behind Bastia in the final standings.
