Beaten at the Licorne stadium 3-1 against Amiens and precisely invoking questionable arbitration, the Ajaccians expressed their anger after the meeting. A penalty that seemed obvious, on a foul on Soumano, was denied to them when the score was 2 to 1, before suffering what looks like a final injustice on a very generous penalty awarded to the Amiens at the end of the game.
The coach Matthew Chabert indicated at a press conference that he did not agree with the decisions of the arbitration body: ” This has to stop! Stop! There is a penalty for us and a red card (for the foul on Soumano, editor’s note). There is the game, the satisfaction of the players’ performance. But it must be said: the refereeing has not been with us since the start of the season. “
In the same tone as its coach, the club communicated on Saturday evening to question Mr. Taleb’s match: ” Once again this season, the ACA is subject to arbitration… once too many! This afternoon in Amiens, Moussa Soumano was the victim of a foul near the penalty area. But the match referee did not see fit to award this foul, punishable by a free kick or a penalty.“
Feeling cheated in several games this season, ” today, AC Ajaccio is wondering about this scenario that it is experiencing and which is repeated from match to match like the grotesque hand in Caen which made even its author smile or the unsanctioned fault on Sollacaro in Lorient “, the Corsican club wants to meet the director of arbitration: ” AC Ajaccio therefore officially requests the arrival of Mr. Antony Gautier in Ajaccio in order to better understand the decisions which have harmed his team so far in the Ligue 2 championship. “
In this particular context, the Ajaccians will have to quickly refocus on the game to best prepare for next week’s derby with the reception of SC Bastia.
