Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Only one team on the pitch at the Armand-Césari stadium. SC Bastia actually hosted AC Ajaccio this Saturday afternoon as part of the shock of the 18th day of Ligue 2. A Corsican derby initially scheduled for yesterday evening but which was postponed this Saturday due to the violent winds which disrupted the evening on the Isle of Beauty. Sporting won with a score of four goals to zero, against an ACA with ten… Bastia climbs to eighth place, Ajaccio is penultimate.
Two arbitration decisions which risk spilling ink
SC Bastia will quickly get their foot on the ball. At the start of the second quarter of an hour, the locals will obtain a fairly generous penalty after a slight foul by Jésah Ayessa on Felix Tomi. Tom Ducrocq takes charge and takes Sollacaro on the wrong foot. A few seconds later, Tomi inherits the ball to the left of the zone after a cross from Tramoni from the right and a big mistake from Huard. The Bastia attacker sends a sudden cross shot from the left into the opposite corner to score the break goal. AC Ajaccio is KO standing.
The Bears continue to pay for their defensive mistakes but will offer themselves a double opportunity in the 37th minute of play. Ivane Chegra is found on the left before moving into the center and entering the penalty area. He continues with the right but stumbles on a nice save from Johnny Placide, lucky, which sees Christopher Ibayi miss his recovery. Three minutes later, SCB increased the score with Lamine Cissé slightly offside in the action. The latter will however not be reported, while VAR is not present in Ligue 2. The mass seems already said. A few seconds later, Everson Jr will commit a free foul on Meynadier in midfield before insulting him in front of the referee, who does not hesitate to show the red card. The chalice to the dregs therefore for Ajaccio during these first 45 minutes.
A mastered second half
Bastia will return to the pitch with the same intentions as in the first period. For his part, Thierry Debès decided to strengthen his midfield in order not to take a memorable blow during the last 45 minutes. Tempers will continue to heat up, with a big reprimand from Bastien Dechepy towards the two captains in the 52nd minute of play. The Blues continue to have control of the ball and will increase the score in the 68th minute of play. game. Tomi accelerates down the left and finds Lamine Cissé at the penalty spot. The last Bastia scorer comes up against Sollacaro for the first time before grabbing the leather once again and then finding LisandruTramoni behind. The young Corsican finishes with the flat of his foot.
The two coaches will then make several changes in order to start preparing for their next deadlines and avoid having an exclusion within their squad. The SCB will spin the ball, pushed by the “olé” of its supporters. At the start of the last quarter of an hour of play, Sollacaro won before a weak recovery from Maxime Blé. In the 82nd minute of play, Ajaccio will explode into a counterattack on the right. Moussa Soumano uses his speed to enter the Bastia area then places a good shot from a tight angle. Johnny Placide deflects for a corner. In the process, Bastia will present itself with three players in front of François-Joseph Sollacaro but Maxime Blé will cruelly eat the sheet. The score will therefore no longer change.
To summarize
Only one team on the pitch at the Armand-Césari stadium. SC Bastia actually hosted AC Ajaccio this Saturday afternoon as part of the shock of the 18th day of Ligue 2. A Corsican derby initially scheduled for yesterday evening but which was postponed this Saturday due to the violent winds which disrupted the evening on the Isle of Beauty.
