Two matches from the end of an unexciting season in Ligue 2, Amiens at least had the merit of hanging on to bring back a point (1-1) from Grenoble. The Isérois had opened the scoring after a big error from Mamadou Fofana. Aliou Badji found his way back to the nets to equalize 25 minutes from time. Kader Bamba very disappointing again was substituted from the break.
For this trip to his former club, Philippe Hinschberger has made the choice to reinstate, in its group the banished from Dunkirk. Dismissed for disciplinary reasons in the North (0-0), Aliou Badji and Kader Bamba have even been established at the Stade des Alpes.
The two teams observed each other during the first quarter of an hour, under the sun at the Stade des Alpes. Abdoulie Sanyang struck in the opening moments but found Regis Gurtner in his way. The Isérois quickly lost one of their defenders. knee injury, Bart Straalman has been replaced by Loris Nery.
First period to the advantage of Grenoble
The ASC accelerated around 20th. Jessy Benetfacing his old formation, landed a big shot slammed over by Brice Maubleu. On the corner that followed, Aliou Badji he tried his luck on an acrobatic return, there too, superbly diverted by the goalkeeper of Grenoble.
After Bart Straalmann, it was Dylan Tell who was forced to give up his place after a thigh injury. The Isérois striker was replaced by Achilles Anani. The other attacker of GF38, Joris Correa tried his luck from 25 yards. The shot from the former Chambly player went just wide of the post Regis Gurtner. Achilles Anani also struck a few minutes later. His shot grazed the Amiens goalkeeper’s cage.
And by dint of insisting, the Grenoble residents have found the fault. After several consecutive corners, the players of Vincent Hognon opened the scoring (1-0) five minutes from half-time and after a big mistake by Mamadou Fofana. After a burst ball was taken out of the field, the Malian recovered the ball only to stupidly lose it immediately. Achilles Ananiserved by Abdoulie Sanyang scored his fifth goal since the start of the season.
Bamba out at the break
From the start of the second half, Philippe Hinschberger made two strong choices. Tolu, very discreet has been replaced by Chadrac Akolo and especially, Kader Bamba, still annoying during the first act gave way to him Arnaud Lusamba.
Choices that remained inconsequential in the first quarter of an hour of this second period. Amiens, helpless, tender, was unable to get the slightest opportunity. Grenoble, strong in advance on the scoreboard, rather managed.
The return of striker Badji
But it is also the moment (66th) thatAliou Badji has chosen to make the powder speak again. The Senegalese, who hadn’t scored since mid-February, equalized (1-1) with a powerful shot that left Brice Maubleu no chance. Aliou Badji’s twelfth achievement this season in Ligue 2. In the process, Philippe Hinschberger made a triple change with the entries of Mathis Lachuer, Owen Gene and Doums Fofana in place of Mateo Pavlovic, Nicholas Opoku and Emmanuel Lomotey.
Amiens still has two matches to play and against two leaders who are fighting for the rise. Paris FC will travel to La Licorne on May 7 before ASC ends its season in Auxerre on Saturday May 14.
