The applied U19s offer themselves to AC Ajaccio
On behalf of the 18th day of the championship, the U19s assume their status as favorites and crush AC Ajaccio (3-0). Solid and diligent, Frédéric Barilaro’s players consolidate their lead at the top of the standings.
12th success of the season for the U19s! Dominating and serious, the Red and Whites were returned this Sunday afternoon, correcting AC Ajaccio, 3-0. Antonin Cartillier’s teammates now have 40 points and remain solidly leading the championship. With this victory, they keep 3 points ahead of their runner-up. A dolphin who is no longer AS Saint-Etienne. The Greens conceded a draw at the end of the morning in Colomiers (0-0), won 2nd place in Toulouse, winner of Béziers (3-1).
An ideal scenario
To defeat his opponent of the day, the Monegasques first opened the penal mark in the 30th minute. Enzo Baglieri takes the Ajaccio goalkeeper on the wrong foot. A few moments later (39′), Malamine Efekele doubled the bet with a skilful flat foot. His 8th achievement of the season. The break is done. AC Ajaccio will not recover.
Because if we could fear a relaxation in the second half, it is not so. Frédéric Barilaro’s players take locker rooms with the same intentions and get back to work properly. A state of mind rewarded by the third and final goal of the meeting. It is the work of Béchir Yacoub, well served by the essential Efekele. In control, the U19s ensure and offer themselves a seventh cleen-sheet in the 2021-2022 financial year.
After the defeat of the U17s, 4-1 on the island of beauty, this Saturday, AS Monaco won one of these two duels of the weekend against the Corsican club. Now it’s time for a well-deserved vacation. A week off. The U19s will defend their first place on Sunday March 6 with a trip to Nîmes.
