This 13th day of Ligue 2 allowed Dunkirk to temporarily climb to second position in the ranking. Good surprise of the season so far, Annecy experienced a real nightmare against Rodez (5-1).
The big blow of the evening is for Dunkirk. This Friday evening, Dunkirk and Annecy had the opportunity to climb the rankings, and make Paris FC and Lorient, mobilized on Saturday against Pau and Guingamp, feel that they would have to fight to keep the top places. The Friday evening was a great success for one of the two teams contending for the climb, namely Dunkerque. At the end of a disputed match against Grenoble, the team coached by De Castro was able to win by the minimum margin and therefore temporarily took second place in the standings with 2 points ahead of Lorient and one behind the PFC.
Rodez plunges Annecy into a nightmare, Ajaccio breathes
Another good surprise of this first part of the L2 season, the Haut-Savoyard club started very well in Rodez with the early opening of Tévis Djago in the 3rd minute, but the rest of the events turned out to be more complicated with a total reversal of the situation and a correction inflicted by inspired locals who are now 11th in the ranking (5-1). Leading the score Martigues was finally thwarted by Amiens (1-1), and still has not taken off from its rank of bottom red.
In the soft underbelly of the ranking, Laval was upset by Bastia in added time (2-2), while Ajaccio won its first victory since September 24, against Clermont (2-0). This Ligue 2 evening was also marked by the interruption of the match between Red Star and Troyes for 30 minutes due to tennis balls being thrown on three occasions. By winning 0-3, ESTAC has finally launched its season and is breathing a little easier in 16th position in the ranking ahead of Martigues and its victim of the evening. The 13th day of Ligue 2 will therefore continue on Saturday with Pau-Paris FC and Lorient-Guingamp (at 2 p.m.) and will close with Metz-Caen (8 p.m.).
