Amiens, who had not lost since mid-January at the Unicorn lost on his lawn (0-2) against Le Havre. In a match without stakes, Philippe Hinschberger’s team lacked involvementnarrowly and also collapsed mentally in the second half.
Unlike Saturday, when he watched the match from the stands in Caen, Aliou Badji has this time been established by Philippe Hinschberger. The Senegalese, top scorer of the ASC was aligned from the start at the forefront of the attack, associated with Chadrac Akolo.
Amiens and Le Havre observed each other in the first quarter of an hour. The Picards generally held the ball but hesitated too much around the penalty area. Like Kader Bamba who did not try his luck when he found himself in a good position to strike several times.
Lack of accuracy
But Kader Bambasimplifying his game, well served by Aliou Badji finally tried his luck with a cross shot. A little too much since she skirted the right post of Mathieu Gorgelin, the goalkeeper of Le Havre. Several of his teammates, like Emmanuel Lomotey or Aliou Badji also tried to hit but without hooking the frame.
Lacking accuracy and simplicity, Philippe Hinschberger’s players did not worry the Normans unduly. Unsurprisingly, the two teams left for the locker room without scoring (0-0). At the start of the second half, Mathieu Dossevi managed to outflank then cross to Kader Bamba which, with a heel, transmitted to Chadrac Akolo whose recovery was countered.
Le Havre open the scoring
Matthis Abline answered him a few moments later. Well served by Quentin Cornette, the striker on loan from Rennes fired a shot that didn’t go far from Gurtner’s goal. But the Normans insisted and found the opening a little before the hour mark. With a well-rolled strike, Nabil Alioui opened the scoring (0-1).
In the process, Philippe Hinschberger made a triple change. Ghostly Arnaud Lusamba and Chadrac Akolo have been replaced by Tolu and Jessy Benet. Nicholas Opoku replaced Mathieu Dossevi.
Amiens dives sportily and mentally
And Amiens collapsed. Transparent on a free kick, seemingly innocuous from Quentin Cornette, just before entering the last quarter of an hour, the defense conceded a second goal. After a discount of Pierre Gibaud, Arouna Sangante scored his first professional goal (0-2).
The Amiens, eleventh in the standings with 42 points will now prepare for their next Ligue 2 match. It will be on Friday (9 p.m.) on the lawn of the penultimate championship, Dunkirk.
