Philippe Hinschberger wanted a good start for Amiens SC for this 2022-2023 season, so as not to repeat the same mistake as the previous year, against Auxerre. Quite the opposite happened this Saturday in Metz. The Picards sank against a very realistic messina team (3-0), for the first day of Ligue 2. It will be necessary to react quickly next Saturday at the Unicorn stadium, against Annecy. The promoted Haut-Savoyard also lost for this introduction, at home, against Niort (1-2).
The game
Taken by the throat from the first quarter of an hour of play, the Amiens were logically punished by Lamine Gueye from the 20th minute, after a breakthrough and a strike on the postAblie Jallow. If the ASC was more enterprising in the second part of the first period, the Samarian club did not know how to concretize its highlights and found themselves trailing 2-0 just before the break after a dry strike from Georges Mikautadze (44′). Severe, the score will become even more severe on the return from the locker room with the third achievement in Messina, scored by Ibrahima Niane (48′), following a slip by Nicholas Opoku. Move on, there’s nothing more to see.
If the Picards then put their foot on the ball, they never really worried their opponent, reduced to 10 at the end of the match, except on a strike fromAntoine Leautey in the last moments. L’Amiens SC simply seemed a tone below the FC Metz to hope for anything tonight. The meeting against Annecy on the second day will give more indications as to Picardy’s ambitions for this championship season.
The number: 48
48, is the minute the match was sealed. The purpose ofIbrahima Niane buried all hope of a comeback from Amiens, despite some good phases of play. The ASC simply lacked efficiency in both surfaces and gave their opponent too much opportunity to punish them. Like this garnet third goal, enabled by a slip of Nicholas Opoku.
