But by not making their situations a reality, the Bastiais were punished. On an off-center free kick, Bilal Brahimi aimed for the area and his cross, ultimately never deflected, ended up in the Corsican goal (2-0, 57th). The litany of missed opportunities by Sporting continued, with Gustave Akueson, alone within six meters (66th), and Cyril Etoga from afar (81st). For the happiness of Caen, which is three points away from the relegation zone with which it was still tinkering with at the start of the week.
