LIVE SCORE DIJON FCO 2 – 2 SM CAEN ENDED
In Burgundy, the Malherbe Caen Stadium had the opportunity to take alone control of the League 2given that Guingamp had conceded a draw (0-0) at the start of the 3rd day earlier in the afternoon. After a very messy first period, Stéphane Moulin’s men took advantage of the passivity of the Dijon defense to open the scoring as soon as they returned from the locker room.
On a blocked shot from Essende, Congré released the marking of Mendy, who could quietly adjust Reynet closely (0-1, 49′). Impassable until this season, the weed defense cracked ten minutes later on a beautiful curled shot on the ground from Xande Silva (1-1, 60′).
Two disputed goals at the end of the match
Thereafter, the match unbridled, each team obtained situations to win. But the first twist of fate was favorable to the Normans. Launched at the limit of offside on the right of the field, Kyeremeh crossed for Jeannot, who was overtaken by the unfortunate Traoréown scorer (1-2, 87′).
Undoubtedly too enthusiastic about this goal which opened the way to a third victory in a row, the defense relaxed. Teikeu and Cissé let Assalé go behind them. Served with a long ball, the Dijon striker who had just entered was going to hit Cissé and Mandréa, who came to clear the ball in front of him. The action was to be punished with a penalty according to Mr. Legat, a severe decision. Soumare did not miss the offering and took Mandréa on the wrong foot to equalize (2-2, 90 ‘).
Still co-leader before the clash
Despite everything, this draw fairly reflects the face of the meeting, very balanced between Caennais and Dijonnais. SM Caen will console themselves by saying that they have preserved their invincibility this season and that they have not lost the lead in the championship. Even if he slips back to 3rd place because of a goal average below BordeauxMalherbe scores 7 points, as many as Guingampwhom he will meet next weekend at the Ornano stadium for what will be the poster for the start of the season.
The number: 240 Caen will have gone 240 minutes without conceding a goal this season, the equivalent of two games and 60 minutes of play in the third.
