Dominating also means winning.
It was the clash of extremes in Ligue 2 on the program for this Monday evening, Dunkirk, the surprise team of this first leg, received Caen, stuck in the bottom of the ranking. Dominant but timid in the first period, the Maritimes ended up making the difference in the last 45 minutes to finally win 3 to 1.
The Dunkirks immediately tried to demonstrate their superioritywhat's more at home but the Maritime attackers struggled to find the fault like Yacine Bammou reported six times in an offside position during the first period. But it is the Caennais who are presented with the most dangerous situation with the powerful strike of Tidiam Gomis, repelled by Adrian Ortola at the feet of Alexandre Mendy who came up against Opa Sanganté, author of a saving comeback (43e).
Dunkirk ends up making its superiority speak for itself
Frustrated at the break, the Maritimes ended up translating their domination in the second half. Finally freed from the offside trap, Bammou was at the conclusion of the northern offensive which started from Ortega's area (1-0, 53e). The goal of break arrived only ten minutes later thanks to Vincent Sasso who perfectly cut the deviation from Sanganté (2-0, 65e). The reduction of the gap by Gabin Tomé gave some glimmers of hope to the Normans (2-1, 73e)but too undisciplined, the Caen defense, through Quentin Lecœuche, offered a penalty to the Maritimes, perfectly transformed by Gaëtan Courtet (3-1, 83e) and so confirm the success of USLD. A victory which allows the Northerners to spend the holidays on the podium, while the Normans will spend them in the red zone.
Two rooms, two atmospheres.
