Once again harmless, Clermont Foot conceded a third defeat in a row, in Amiens, this Friday evening (1-0). Here is what to remember from the match.
The match summary
Third defeat in a row for Clermont Foot. After Paris FC (0-1) and Dunkerque (0-1), the Auvergnats lost by the same score, this Friday, in Amiens, after a goal conceded on the first situation of the Picards: Vita, very active on his left side, found Lutin in front of him who centered back for Kandil, whose volley from the left deceived N’Diaye (6th).
Sébastien Bichard’s men had the opportunity to come back into this game. Saivet missed a penalty (see below). Before that, Keïta, then Diallo, on two long-range strikes, had forced Gurtner to relax twice at the end of the first period (38th and 39th).
Ligue 2: still harmless, Clermont Foot loses to Amiens (re-read the live)
But overall, the Clermontois, despite a largely favourable possession, had difficulty creating dangerous situations in front of the Amiens goal. The fault lies in a lack of ideas, and speed too. A recurring problem since the start of the season that the Auvergnats will have to quickly correct. From Tuesday against Red Star (8:30 p.m.), for the reunion between Bichard and the Audonian club? Time is starting to press for the CF63 which continues to slide down the rankings.
The turning point of the match: Saivet’s missed penalty
Trailing since the first minutes of the match, Clermont had a golden opportunity to get back into the game just before the hour mark. In the 57th minute, following a loss of the ball by Amiens, Baaloudj quickly found Konaté in the area. The Clermont defender was brought down by an Amiens player. Mr. Landry did not hesitate and pointed to the penalty spot. Already a penalty scorer on the 2nd day in Troyes (Clermont’s 0-1 victory), Saivet came face to face with Gurtner. But the former Pau player, Clermont captain this Friday in the absence of Gastien, took his shot too far and it went well over the crossbar.
The player: Habib Keïta
He was the most dangerous Clermont player on the pitch of the Licorne. If his first attempt – the first strike of the match (4th) – escaped Gurtner’s goal, the Amiens goalkeeper had to work hard to push away the magnificent left-footed strike from 16 meters from the Clermont midfielder (38th). Beyond his attempts, Habib Keïta delivered a rather interesting match. In the first act in particular, we saw him maneuvering several times. To be confirmed.
