We played last night in L2, we caught up with the late games. For AC Ajaccio, who hosted Auxerre, it was a great opportunity to take back the top flight in Toulouse. But, as last Monday in Caen, the Corsicans of the South did not succeed …
This time, it’s official: the TFC is the first in the class, on the same footing as its competitors. Understand: equality of matches played. Say 22 games in the bag for the leading trio Toulouse, Ajaccio, Sochaux – the fourth, Paris FC, certainly accuses a late meeting to play but cannot join the club of the Pink City (38 vs 42pts). It’s arithmetic.
We can therefore see more clearly: the boss-sized Tef (despite its sharing of points in Northern Corsica, there, last Saturday) and the ACA in dry dock (2 games without scoring), but the Sochaux Cubs who do not have surely never scratched so much since the start of hostilities in the heart of July: 2 wins and a 0-0 since the resumption of confectioners.
Be careful, therefore; especially since Téfécé will travel there in mid-April as they will visit Ajaccio… at the last stage of the L2 marathon.
Clearly, it will be wiser for Montanier’s troops to have known how to keep their distance beforehand. Especially, the classification attests, that the first three are held in two points.
Thank you goal difference
Toulouse FC holding out, if we dare, at Athletic-Club Ajaccien only thanks to a goal average like no other: +26 vs +11. The slightest misstep can prove fatal on the tortuous path that leads to the elite.
Like letting two units slip away as they handed you the purse. Last night, at François-Coty, the islanders should have won the day: an (indisputable) penalty missed by captain Courtet – or rather stopped as a handkeeper, it’s in season, by Leon (36e); a pole… coming out of Arconte (67e). A misfortune never arriving alone, Marchetti will see red in stride (2e warning, 70e).
This draw, a sign in winter? Answer… in the spring!
