Amiens gets some fresh air, Toulouse, Sochaux and Le Havre in slow motion / Ligue 2 / J22 / Summary / SOFOOT.com
In an evening when the show had decided to make the trunk, it will have been necessary to wait for the second period to see certain meetings cheer up finally. The contenders for the climb have all been held in check (Toulouse, Sochaux, Le Havre), while at the bottom of the classification, the good operation is for Amiens, who leaves his place of jump-off, while Dijon continues his good recovery.
Dijon 1-0 Quevilly-Rouen
But: Scheidler (49and)
Confrontation between two formations in the middle of the table and in search of continuity on the side of Burgundy. Slightly more enterprising in the game, Dijon struggled for a long time to get real opportunities. It was finally Scheidler, perfectly found at the far post from a corner at the start of the second act, who unblocked the situation, with the first but of the evening in passing. (1-0, 49and). The Normans do not succeed, even if Zargo Touré is very close to offering them a point with a header propelled on his own crossbar. Without consequence for Dijon, which invites itself into the first part of the table, which was far from certain after a very complicated start to the season.
Amiens 3-0 EA Guingamp
But: Badji (57and, 63and) and Akolo (84and)
Decimated by absences, Guingamp will have stood up to Amiens for a long time, who finally carried out the great operation of the evening by leaving their place as play-off. The Picards can rely on Badji to threaten the Breton defense, even if the attacker needs a little adjustment at the start of the game. On the other side of the field, Cathline does not manage to conclude despite a face-to-face, and it is necessary to wait for the second act to see the match choose its camp. All in power, Badji opens the score (1-0, 57and), before offering himself a double after a loss of the opponent’s ball (2-0, 63and). Here is the formation of Hinschberger which gives itself a breath of fresh air in the standings, especially since Akolo offers a third but to his team at the end of the game (3-0, 84and).
Le Havre 0-0 Rodez AF
The curse continues for Khalid Boutaïb at the Océane stadium, he who has still not had the joy of raising his arms in front of his supporters this season. The Le Havre striker however had several good chances over the course of the meeting, playing on bad luck or clumsiness when it came to concluding. A lack of efficiency which is expensive for the Hacmen, unable to win on their lawn since the end of October. It was also the fault of a magnificent horizontal signed Mpasi on a return from Alioui, while opposite, Dembélé had missed a chance to achieve the perfect shot for the Aveyronnais. Abdelli, a little rolled up, also misses his sights at the very end of the match and Le Havre does not manage to get closer to the places in the play-offs.
Dunkirk 0-0 FC Sochaux
Stoppage also for Sochaux, who failed to follow up, a week after his totally crazy victory against Caen. Masters of the game, however, the Cubs struggled to get real chances of but in the first period. Upon receiving a long ball, Kitala fails to deceive Vachoux’s good outing. After the break, the visitors try to accelerate, but without success. Mauricio hits the bar after a nice free-kick combination, then sees Vachoux intervene on his helmet shot a few minutes later. Sochaux tried hard, Dunkirk held firm and the Doubistes also had to settle for a small point, despite a last feat by Mauricio in the final seconds.
Bastia 0-0 Toulouse FC
Expulsions: Kaïboué (89and) for Bastia // Desler (89and) for TFC
The Armand Cesari fortress still stands. Undefeated on their home soil for 30 games, the Bastiais held firm against the Toulouse leader, held in check despite a match dominated overall. From the first quarter of an hour, Healey’s goal was disallowed for a prior offside by Ngoumou, before the young will-o’-the-wisp came up against Placide from a tight angle. The last Corsican rampart is the strong man of the match on the Bastia side. After the break, Toulouse resumed strongly, but Onaiwu sent his shot over following a corner. On the other side of the field, Dupé must remain vigilant on a long shot from Salles-Lamonge, before Placide goes down again in front of Ratao. An end to the match marked by the expulsions of Kaïboué and Desler for a slight collision away from the action. Bad operation for Toulouse, which remains first, but with two games played more than Ajaccio.
