En Avant Guingamp displays its ambitions after its great success against Ajaccio

League 2 (6th day). Guingamp – AC Ajaccio: 3-0

Rigor, intensity, accuracy. This Monday, against AC Ajaccio, En Avant Guingamp put all the ingredients in place to achieve an encouraging success which propels it to fourth place in Ligue 2. So here are the Bretons where they hope to stay, from now on, before a trip to the Laval leader on Saturday. A little more than 15 days after the slap received in Amiens (4-1), Stéphane Dumont’s men showed an ambitious and dynamic face combining, finally, consistency and efficiency.

El Ouazzani’s double

A state of mind embodied in particular by Baptiste Roux. Sidelined throughout the month of August, the Vendéen took advantage of Sidibé’s absence to return with great fanfare. Like a wounded animal, the 23-year-old midfielder first signed, with a delicious cross, an assist on El Ouazzani’s first goal (1-0, 4′) before being at the forefront. passes on the Moroccan’s second achievement (2-0, 32′). If he didn’t succeed at everything, Roux, first in attitude, set the record straight by demonstrating that the well-bred boy also had temperament.

In a different register, Hugo Picard, also back as a starter, played the passer on both goals during a first period which he marked by his accuracy and his differences. Embodying a team in tune, the attacking midfielder lived up to his hopes before giving way to Sagna on the hour mark (61′). Monday evening, everything was there. And at the end of a less brilliant but more managed second half, Guillaume was rewarded for his efforts by finally unlocking his goal counter (3-0, 78′).

Stay up there

Apart from a post found by Touzghar from the start (4′), En Avant Guingamp did not leave much for the Corsicans who were not having a great evening. This is something that happens and it is now a question, for the Costarmoricans, of relying on this kind of performance to avoid the air gaps which would condemn them to the soft underbelly of Ligue 2. With this resounding success, In any case, they gave themselves the right to hold on to the top of the table before calibrating themselves against the surprise leader. A real test, again, to stay where they want to be.
