Montpellier captain Téji Savanier scored MHSC's first goal of the season this Sunday, August 18. He is getting closer to two historic records.

Téji Savanier is getting a little closer to the records. With Montpellier. But also in Ligue 1. Thanks to his first goal of the season against Strasbourg (1-1) this Sunday for the first day of Ligue 1, the captain from Pailladin becomes the third best scorer of the MHSC in history.

The kid from the Gély estate, 32 years old, has 41 goals in the orange and blue jersey. He is behind Laurent Blanc (47) and Souleymane Camara (52).

16 penalties in a row

Another record that Savanier touches with the tip of his cleat, the series of penalties converted in a row. Thanks to the one scored on Sunday, he is now at 16, equaling Ryad Boudebouz. He is now just one goal away from the record, held by the Brazilian Fabinho (17), when he played for Monaco.
