But : Gauthier Hein (31e)
Corsican hospitality.
Jostled by voluntary and dangerous Ajaccians, the Messins carried out the perfect heist on the pitch of the Michel-Moretti stadium, Monday, at the end of the 12th day of Ligue 2. A hold-up orchestrated with a simple plan: absorb the blows to better sting in transition. A plan quickly understood by AC Ajaccio, who entered the match better and came very close to opening the scoring in the 5th minute. Saved by their bar, the Messins responded with a counter-flash from Sabaly, disgusted by Sollacaro (15e). Meanwhile, Alexandre Oukidja, number one relegated to the bench, accelerated his warm-up to replace his usual replacement, Pape Sy, promoted to the starting position but quickly injured…
A twist of fate which did not disturb the Lorraines, who took advantage of a superb defensive blind pass from Anziani towards his goalkeeper to open the scoring. Until then invisible, Gauthier Hein was quick to win his duel (0-1, 31e). Without another save from Sollacaro, the Corsicans would have folded before the break, but the Ajaccian goalkeeper pulled out all the stops against Boleke. Which gave ideas to Alexandre Oukidja, no doubt upset at having been relegated to the bench, and decisive against Ibayi (70th), before a more controlled end to the match by FC Metz.
Thanks to this narrow success, Stéphane Le Mignan's men climb to 5th place, two points behind Lorient, 2nd. After three defeats in a row, Ajaccio, for its part, is a barrage.
