Frustration, and great goalkeepers.
Having the opportunity to provisionally take first place in Ligue 2 ahead of Lorient, who play this Saturday evening in Laval, Dunkerque missed the boat on the Guingamp pitch. Held in check (1-1) in heavy rain in Roudourou, Luis Castro's players stumbled upon a good Enzo Basilio in the Breton goal. While they had opened the scoring with a cross from Yacine Bammou caught in the heart of the area by Enzo Bardelli before the hour mark, they were joined barely three minutes later with a little solo number from Rayan Ghrieb , who deceived the vigilance of the northern defense after a free kick quickly played by Kalidou Sidibé. With this point, Dunkirk is second with 32 points, one length behind Lorient and is not taking full advantage of the defeat of Paris FC. For its part, Guingamp is sixth with 26 units.
Festival of parades in Metz
With 29 points at the start of the afternoon, Metz could not claim the leadership position. But if he could hope for a nice close at the top of the ranking, this will not be the case: forced to share the points against Pau (0-0), the Messins lacked efficiency in a match marked by goalkeepers in very great shape. Pape Sy (twice for the Lorraines, in particular) and especially Bingourou Kamara (man of the match, author of several exploits for the Palois) did everything to keep a goalless draw at the end of the 90 minutes. Metz may, however, regret the lack of efficiency of its offensive players, who multiplied the situations and struck twenty times without ever managing to finish the shots. Like Cheikh Sabaly, unable to open his foot in added time. Metz moves back to fourth place with 30 points, while Pau is eighth with 23 points.
A 0-0 as we really like them.
