Ivorian Ange Lago scores as Dijon beat Metz in French Ligue 2

Ivorian striker Ange Lago scored for Dijon FCO as they secured a 4-2 victory over FC Metz in the French Ligue 2 on Monday, 12 October.

The 21-year-old found the net in the match, which was played on the eighth matchday of the French second division, providing an encouraging moment in his early career at the Burgundy-based club.

Lago joined Dijon at the end of August from Olympique de Marseille and has quickly begun making his presence felt at his new club.

The forward is hoping to use the move to secure more playing time and demonstrate his potential as he continues his development in professional football.

His goal against Metz represents a positive step as he seeks to establish himself in Dijon’s squad following his arrival from Marseille.

The victory also gave Dijon an important result in their Ligue 2 campaign, with Lago contributing to the four-goal performance against their opponents.

At 21, the Ivorian remains at an early stage of his professional career, and his latest contribution offers an opportunity to build momentum at a new club.

Having made the switch to Burgundy in late August, the striker will be looking to turn such performances into regular opportunities on the pitch.

For Lago, the challenge now is to maintain his progress and make the most of his new environment as he seeks to become an established figure at Dijon.

His strike against Metz provides a promising moment in that pursuit, with the Ivorian aiming to continue developing and make a lasting impression in the French second tier.
