In a day of the championship cut by four games due to the Covid-19 epidemic and poor in goals (0-0 at half-time on all grounds!), Amiens signed the best operation. While they remained on two defeats and occupied a less than stellar 18th place, the Picards revived by defeating Guingamp (3-0) yesterday. Faced with Bretons diminished by many absentees, positive for Covid-19 or selected for the African Cup of Nations, the Amiens took the best on the return from the locker room, thanks in particular to a double from Aliou Badji. With this success, Philippe Hinschberger’s men leave the red zone.

The status quo was in order at the top of the table, since Toulouse and Sochaux were hung on the move by poorly ranked players, respectively in Bastia and Dunkirk.

The Haut-Garonnais have not managed to pinch the Bastiais at Furiani, where they have been undefeated since the start of the season. Dominators, the Violets stumbled on a Johnny Placide of the big nights. And the only time the Corsican goalkeeper was beaten, Nathan Ngoumou, the goal was disallowed for offside. With this draw, Téfécé alone takes the lead in the championship. He could have been joined on the throne by Sochaux, but the Cubs were also held in check. Omar Daf’s proteges never managed to find the fault against Dunkirk who were playing their first match in a month, after being badly hit by the Covid-19.

These results suit Ajaccio, who will have the opportunity to regain control of the championship if they succeed in Caen tomorrow. But also pursuers Paris FC and Auxerre, whose direct confrontation has been postponed to February 1.
