Ligue 2: Martigues takes a point from Amiens (1-1)

The “Blood et Or” avoided a third consecutive defeat by sharing the points with Amiens.

This morning, the sun still does not shine on the Francis Turcan stadium which the Martégaux will return to at the beginning of January 2025.

After the defeats against Caen (3-0) in Gueugnon and against Red Star (1-0) at the same stadium, Thierry Laurey's players contested this week during a tense meeting, snatching a point in the Somme. Certainly the club is still last in Ligue 2, but the players demonstrated mental qualities which allowed them not to crack under the pressure of the Amiens.

Marillas decisive

Established as goalkeeper in place of Jeremy Aymes guilty of having told the coach some truths in public, Yann Marillat succeeded in his match. After Amraoui opened the scoring for FCM from the penalty spot (34th), Mafouta missed a penalty awarded to Amiens and deflected by Marillat (37th). Of course, Amiens equalized through Leautey (67th) but Marillat's saves and decisive reflexes allowed Martigues to take a point at the Licorne stadium.

After a trip to Grenoble to meet FC Allobroges Asafia in the seventh round of the Coupe de France on November 17 at 5 p.m., return to championship business against Laval on November 22 in Gueugnon.
