Stade Gaston-Gérard: it was Sporting’s playground this Saturday evening against Dijon FCO.
An important match for the 2 teams with Sporting looking to get back on the podium and a Dijon team looking for a point to stay in Ligue 2 BKT.
Pascal Dupraz’s men get a huge opportunity from the start: Tchaouna comes close to opening the scoring from the start. Served by Jacob, he loses his duel against Placide. In the process, he recovers the ball and hits the left post Bastiais.
The response of the blues comes 4 minutes later with a half volley from Alfarela blocked by the defense. In the 27th minute, Van Den Kerkhof goes faster than everyone on the right side and tries to serve Vincent but the ball is cleared at the last minute.
After opportunities on both sides, the 2 teams separate with this goalless draw of 0-0 at halftime.
Back from the locker room, the Dijonnais put pressure on the goals of the Bastiais. But it was ultimately the latter who opened the scoring: offset by Schur, Salles-Lamonge unleashed a superb strike from the edge of the area to allow Sporting to lead by one goal.
The blues then suffered the attacks of their evening opponent who ended up equalizing: in the 72nd Soumaré, after an individual feat, revived his team with a long shot.
With a decisive Johny Placide on several occasions, the blues bring back a point from their trip before the reception of Amiens, next Saturday at Furiani.
