The fifth match in two weeks for the Blues still looking for victory. Faced with a team with a plethoric bench but with uncertain results, a victory has eluded the Turchini in Caen since 2005. The Blues are the first to project themselves forward, with Sporting taking the initiative of the game. Tramoni, in search of his first goal, hits the post fifteen minutes into the game on a cross from Boutrah. Guevara, in turn, puts the Norman goalkeeper on alert from a corner.
Mendy, executioner of Sporting
Irresistible in each meeting against Sporting, Mendy, in his first big action, volleys a cross from Brahimi. The ball, slightly deflected, ends up in the back of the net. Bastia dominates, but sees the locals take the advantage: one action, one goal.
A hand forgotten under the referee's nose
Bastia pushes, and Bonhert's cross is detonated with his hand in the area, just under the nose of the referee, a hand not whistled. A real scandal, after the hand not whistled against AC Ajaccio: here is a second. Could it finally be time to introduce VAR in Ligue 2? In slow motion, the hand is indisputable, and this decision incomprehensible. a new injustice towards the island clubs since the start of the season.
Fate persists: this time, a hand is whistled against Sporting, and the locals are quick to exploit every opportunity. They end up doubling the lead with a free kick that crosses the area untouched and ends up in the back of the net. Brahimi's free kick goes past everyone and ends in the goal.
Sporting, far from giving up, is trying to react. Akuesson, alone in the area, takes a free kick with his head, but misses the target completely. Bastia cannot catch up and loses.
The Blues are still marking time a little further: sixth match without a victory. Over the last six matches, Bastia would undoubtedly have deserved more points, but Sporting stagnates in 10th place. The Turchini have not won since September 20. Next match for the Blues: in Laval, Friday.
