In Rodez, Philippe Hinschberger, recovered from his covid, established the Tolu-Cissé pair in attack at the Paul Lignon stadium. After only 40 seconds, it was the Aveyronnais who took the first initiative. Killian Corredor got rid of Mamadou Fofana to open the way to the goal but found Regis Gurtner on his way. With a superb parade, the goalkeeper of Amiens SC avoided the opener.
Cissé rhymes with efficiency
Amiens, quite shy in the first quarter of an hour, opened the scoring in the 17th minute but Tolu’s goal was disallowed for an offside position. Papiss Cisse was able to seize his chance just before the half hour mark. The Senegalese, well placed in the penalty area, scored. His second goal since the start of the season (0-1).
No doubt well paid for by the scenario of the first half, the Amiens went back to the locker room with this advantage in the score. Only downsides, the two yellow cards of Doums Fofana and Nicholas Opoku.
The second half started again at a fairly calm pace. Toluon the hour mark crossed his shot a little too much, which went one meter from the goal post of Lionel Mpassi. Caught in the crossfire, that of accelerating to double the lead and that of managing this short lead proved serious but quite timid offensively.
Amiens holds firm
Despite some pressure from the team of Laurent Peyrelade, Amiens held firm and scored a sixth success this season. A victory which allows the Picards to reach the bar of twenty points.
For its next match in Ligue 2, Amiens will receive Dijon on behalf of the eleventh day. the meeting will take place at the Licorne stadium on Saturday October 8 (7 p.m.).
