French Ligue 2 Weekend Roundup: Auxerre Misstep, Laval Soars, Rodez Climbs

2024-02-24 20:14:36

Auxerre made a misstep this Saturday that is unlike it. As part of the 26th day of L2, the Burgundian leaders conceded a draw (1-1) at home once morest Bastia (15th). So if the Angevins (2nd) win in Caen on Monday evening (8:45 p.m.), they would only come within two points of the AJA. Auxerre captain Jubal opened the scoring with a header from a corner taken by Gauthier Hein (1-0, 38th), author of his ninth assist of the season (no player does better in the Championship). But the Corsicans equalized at the end of the match through Migouel Alfarela, who took a ball pushed back by the post (1-1, 89th).

At the same time Laval (3rd), which remained in three matches without a victory, came back to two points from Angers following its success obtained in Brest once morest Concarneau (3-1), thanks to Malik Tchokounté, who took over heading a center from Pablo Pagis (1-0, 2nd), before magnificently throwing Rémy Labeau-Lascary deep, who took advantage (2-0, 56th). Then Antonin Bobichon took back a gift offered by Junior Kadile (3-0, 82nd). Note that Concarneau midfielder Maxime Etuin missed a penalty (66th). His team finally saved the honor by Pape Ibnou Ba (1-3, 85th).

Rodez gained three places

On the other hand, at the top of the table, the big loser of the day is Grenoble, which falls to fifth place, overtaken by Saint-Etienne, who had beaten Annecy earlier (2-1). The Isérois in fact surprisingly fell at home once morest Pau, due to a counter concluded by Moussa Sylla (0-1, 5th).

Grenoble is now closely followed in the standings by Rodez, who rose this Saturday from 9th to 6th place, following his success on the ground of the red lantern, Valenciennes (2-0). Kilian Corredor first made the difference with a cross recovery from close range, taking advantage of a festival made on the side by Andréas Hountondji (1-0, 43rd). Then Yannis Verdier then concluded a nice collective movement (2-0, 84th). Note that Bradley Danger saw a penalty attempt splendidly deflected by Lassana Diabaté (72nd).

Four posts for Ajaccio

Rodez passed Ajaccio, now 7th, who failed to beat Amiens at home (0-0), despite four strikes being repelled by the uprights. Likewise, the Quevilly Rouen Métropole – Paris FC meeting also ended without a goal (0-0).

In the middle of the table, Bordeaux, despite the early and rather worrying exit of Alberth Elis following a violent blow to the head, managed to score a fourth success at home once morest Guingamp (1-0 ). Zan Vipotnik scored for the Girondins, from close range, following two good saves made by Enzo Basilio (1-0, 40th). Finally, Dunkirk won convincingly once morest Troyes (2-1) but remains relegated (17th) with 30 points, as many as Troyes and Bastia, despite a series of six matches without defeat.
