Waris on target for Lorient in Ligue 1

Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris grabbed his second goal of the French Ligue 1 season after scoring in Lorient’s convincing 2-0 win over rivals Caen on Wednesday evening.

The 24-year-old Black Stars forward sealed the win for Lorient with a 36th minute strike as Lorient recorded their second straight win of the campaign.

Jordan Adeoti had a shot saved for the visitors within the opening couple of minutes, while Herve Bazile watched a long range shot fly just over the bar 10 minutes later.

It was the home side who took the lead after 13 minutes, however, when Cameroon international forward Moukandjo scored from close range after a Maxime Barthelme free kick.

Ghana international Waris had a header saved with 10 minutes remaining in the first half, and gave his side a two-goal advantage shortly after when firing the ball beyond Remy Vercoutre following a Didier N’Dong corner.

Waris scored his first goal of the season ten days ago on his return to the French top-flight in Lorient’s 3-1 win against Angers before inspiring them to a 3-2 win over AS Monaco during the weekend.
