After two matches without a victory, marked by three suspensions, Ajaccio wanted to leave Amiens with the three points. An opportunity missed by the Corsicans, who leave the Unicorn stadium in anger. This is demonstrated in particular by Mathieu Chabert, coach of the ACA, who believes “not to be refereed fairly” at the start of the Ligue 2 season.
In Ajaccio, defeats and protests follow one another. In difficulty at the start of the season, the Corsicans wanted to return to victory. Traveling to the Unicorn pitch to face Amiens who alternate success and defeat, the ACA players did not get off to a good start in their meeting, conceding a first goal from a penalty from Mafouta, in the 2nd minute.
After reducing the gap just before the break (1-2), the Red and White created two chances… in vain. If Amiens sealed the victory with a second penalty at the very end of the game (90+3), the Ajaccians could also have taken advantage of such a situation in the second half… one straw too many for Mathieu Chabert. “We manage not to sink despite everything, to set up our game well, but then there are facts of the game which are against us. I don’t know whether to criticize the refereeing or to say nothing, but “It has to stop. Injustice in football is difficult to accept. We’re going to hold on, but it has to stop, please,” he insists. ACA coach.
“Be judged fairly”
Certainly frustrated to experience a fourth defeat in Ligue 2 this season, Mathieu Chabert has not forgotten the refereeing decisions during previous matches. “It’s been four games that it’s not for us. The match against Caen, there was a hand in the area not whistled. Lorient, a difficult expulsion for us and one forgotten for them, Martigues, two expulsions and there this match…”, he lists after the lost game (3-1). “Today, we deserve to come away with at least a point. Now, we have to continue to work, to improve and to be referees fairly.”
After these disappointments, Ajaccio welcomes Bastia next Saturday for a Corsican derby, which inevitably promises to be warm.
