Carried by a record Alexandre Mendy, Caen finally continues against Bastia – Ligue 2 – J12 – Caen-Bastia (2-0)

Buts : Mendy (31^e) and Brahimi (57^e) for Caen

Who will stop Alexandre Mendy?

Very inconsistent since the start of the season, Caen has finally managed to string together two consecutive successes this Saturday by controlling Bastia at home (2-0). It was a special afternoon at Michel-d'Ornano, where Cyrille Watier, now ex-top scorer in the club's history, was present to honor Alexandre Mendy, who overtook his predecessor earlier in the week against Martigues. And the Guinea-Bissau striker has further improved his record : when a ball landed at the far post, he planted a nice volley at Johnny Placide (1-0, 31^e)thus raising his total to 71 goals under the Caen tunic.

Bilal Brahimi lucky, Mendy applauded

A few days earlier, Nicolas Seube had demanded that his players “finally let go”finding them “still very timid”. He was able to see the best from time to time, even if they sometimes suffered, and the goal of the break arrived after the break: on an eccentric free kick, Bilal Brahimi kicked the leather and no one intervened on the center, which surprised Placide, not flawless at the time (2-0, 57^e). Curtain, Bastia did not have the weapons to return this afternoon, and the last highlight of the meeting is none other thana standing ovation by Michel-d'Ornano for Alexandre Mendy at the time of its release.

Caen gives itself a little breathing space and comes back thirteenth, Bastia is tenth.
