Angers Surges to Second Place, Laval Slips in Latest Matches – SCO Season Updates

At the top, Angers finally reacts, Laval is losing ground

It’s a success that could count in the SCO season, unrecognizable since January. While an eighth defeat in eleven matches seemed to be looming for the Angevins, trailing 2-0 on the Concarneau pitch, Alexandre Dujeux’s players found unsuspected resources to turn the match around (4-2) and regain 2nd place. place from which they had been temporarily dispossessed by Saint-Etienne, winner a little earlier in Valenciennes (2-0).

Loïs Diony reduced the score from the restart (50th), Farid El-Melali equalized shortly before the hour mark (59th), Esteban Lepaul, who entered at the break, gave the SCO the advantage (78th), before that Diony, again, seals the scenario (90th). Angers are once again two points ahead of the Greens. Laval, beaten by Bastia (1-2), is a little further away, five lengths. Despite a goal from Rémy Labeau Lascary (57th) to respond to Florian Bianchini’s opener (52nd), the Tangos ended up losing to a goal from Facinet Conte (85th). Their fourth place hangs by a thread: Rodez, who led 3-0 at Troyes before getting scared in the second period (3-2), is two points behind.

Winner on the QRM pitch thanks to a double from Alexandre Mendy (10th, 43rd), Caen (6th) is in ambush, respectively three and one unit from Laval and Ruthenois. Held in check in Grenoble (0-0) and Bordeaux (3-3), Guingamp (7th) and Paris FC (8th) carried out a blank operation with a view to a possible play-off. The two clubs are joined in the number of points by Pau who won at Amiens (3-2) after having been led 2-0.

Below, Bordeaux is hanging on, Annecy too

However, Paris FC led 2-0 then 3-2 at Matmut Atlantique in a context which seemed conducive to defeating the Girondins. The first fifteen minutes were marked by a strike of encouragement from Virage Sud. Several protest banners were also displayed in the stands. On one of them: “When passing the DNCG is no longer the only objective”.

Twelfth, five points ahead of the first relegated Annecy, the Bordelais no longer seem able to have any aspirations other than ensuring their survival. It took a strike from Pedro Diaz (90th) to save them from the worst after the 3-2 penalty conceded by Kalle Johnsson and converted by Ilan Kebbal (52nd). Before ? A marvel from Zuriko Davitashvili (42nd) and a nice free kick from Yoann Barbet (48th) had already demonstrated an insufficient reaction to patch things up with the supporters. The only team from the red zone to have won this weekend, 2-0 in Dunkirk, Annecy can continue to believe in maintaining. Troyes is only two points ahead.
