Stade Malherbe thrilled its loyal supporters with a 2-0 victory against Bastiaon the occasion of the 12th day of Ligue 2, this Wednesday, November 2. The Caennais are reassured at home and move a little further away from the red zone
In a new 4-4-2 system with the start of Kalifa Coulibay for the first time this season, the SMC suffered a lot at the start of the match without ever giving up. Bastia lacked efficiency and Nicolas Seube's men showed a lot of defensive solidarity. More and more dangerous offensively, it was the Normans who broke the deadlock thanks to the goleador Alexandre Mendy with a very nice volley on a pass from Mickaël Le Bihan (30th). A penalty could have been whistled for Bastia before the break after a handball from Quentin Lecoeuche in the area. The referee did not flinch.
In the second half, after some hesitation, the Malherbistes doubled the lead on a very nice free kick from Bilal Brahimi 39 meters from the Bastia cage guarded by Placide. Rolled up to the far post, the ball did not even need to be deflected to finish its journey into the back of the net. The break is therefore made before the hour! (57th). The Bastiais did not manage to come back to the scorenotably coming up against a good Yannis Clementia at the end of the match, like a beautiful tap after a well-taken corner from striker Amine Boutrah (85th).
Bastia remains 10th in Ligue 2. Caen moves back to 13th place. Malherbe's next match will take place on November 9 on the Metz pitch.
