Amiens is breathing new life into the Ligue 2 standings ! ASC won 3-1 against Niort on this 24th day of the championship. A happy success for the Picards who were dominated in the game by the Chamois but who showed great realism. Aliou Badji scored twice
To challenge one of his former clubs, Philippe Hinschberger was able to count on an almost complete workforce, as during the trip to Monaco on Tuesday (2-0). The Amiénois coach opted for a resolutely attacking eleven with the tenure of Tolu, Aliou Badji, Kader Bamba and Arnaud Lusamba.
It was the Chamois who pushed hard from the start of the match. First with a collective foray into the penalty area from the first moments. A few minutes later, Dylan Louisserre tried his luck on a free kick full axis at 25 meters, following a foul from Mamadou Fofana. Regis Gurtner boxed the ball.
Amiens scores against the run of play
Suffocated, abused, the Amiens have yet found the opening. On an error of attention of the Niortaise defense, Fate Bamba stole the ball from an opponent and served ideally Aliou Badji. The Senegalese fixed the goalkeeper and cheated Quentin Braat passing the ball between his legs. The ninth goal for the Amiens striker since the start of the Ligue 2 season (1-0).
After this opener, well paid for Amiens in the first quarter of an hour, Niort tried a reaction. Ibrahim Sissoko placed a first header to which he missed a few centimeters to hook the frame. And a second who found the post a few minutes later.
Realism lesson of Amiens
But Amiens gave Niort a real lesson in realism! Eight minutes from the break, after an action where the Amiens insisted in the penalty area. And on a center of Matthéo Xantippe, Aliou Badji tried his luck. And his strike, however crushed, went to lodge in the bottom of the nets of Quentin Braat (2-0).
Amiens therefore went back to the locker room with a well-paid score advantage as the Niortais dominated collectively. But with a Aliou Badji in total successauthor of his ninth and tenth goals since the start of the season.
led, the Niortais nevertheless returned with good intentions in the second half. Ibrahim Sissoko again won his aerial duels and first placed a good header, stopped by Regis Gurtner. The ASC was miraculously a little before the hour after a strike fromIbrahim Sissoko, him again. The ASC goalkeeper was again on the trajectory and Tyrone Torminwho came into play a few minutes before, failed to push the ball into the empty cages.
Amiens managed their advantage despite these Niortaise alerts. Kader Bamba is out through injury, replaced by Jessy Benet twenty minutes from the end. Chadrac Akolo and Emmanuel Lomotey also made their comeback during this sequence of changes.
Unbridled end to the game
By insisting, Ibrahim Sissoko eventually found the way to the nets. On an eccentric free kick on the left, the Niortais striker lodged a powerful shot in the skylight of Regis Gurtner (2-1). But Amiens did not gamble since Eddy Gnahoréserved by Aliou Badji went fixed Quentin Braat to score the third Amiens goal (3-1).
Amiens will travel to Aveyron next Saturday to face Rodez there, on behalf of the 25th day of Ligue 2.
