The DFCO is resistant at the end of the season! Patrice Garande’s players have won the point of the draw (2-2) this Monday, April 11, 2022 at Paris F.C.one of the contenders for the rise in Ligue 1. The Dijon team completes a sixth consecutive game without defeat!
A complementary group
The Reds had an interesting first period on the lawn of the Charléty stadium. Still in a 5-3-2 composition, the Dijonnais opened the scoring (27′, 0-1) on a counter-attack initiated by Romain Philippoteaux, and ended by Aurelien Scheidlerwho reached the fateful bar of the 10th goal this season!
The two players symbolize the depth of the Dijon bench, having respectively taken the place of Lucas Deaux and Alex Dobre, both injured for the meeting.
Philippoteaux and Scheidler also in the game on the equalizing goal
In front at the break, the DFCO were shaken at the start of the second half by more pressing opponents. Julian Lopez sounded the revolt by scoring twice (57′, 64′), to put Paris FC in the lead (2-1).
Leaving the ball to the opponent, the players of captain Daniel Congré still took advantage of it just before the last quarter of an hour. Passive on a free kick from Valentin Jacob, the Parisian defense left Aurélien Scheidler… and Romain Philippoteaux, free of any markings. The midfielder took the opportunity to slip the ball under the crossbar of goalkeeper Vincent Demarconnay (2-2, 72′).
Threatened at the end of the match by an opponent playing with 4 offensive players, the DFCO resisted to leave Paris with the point of the draw.
A good deal: the club is back in the top 10 of the Ligue 2 standings. Enough to start hostilities before the rest of the series of matches against contenders for the rise. AC Ajaccio presents itself this Saturday April 16 at Gaston-Gérard, before the derby against AJ Auxerre this Tuesday April 19. The opportunity to extend a remarkable series!
