VAFC – Ajaccio: Manga Foé Ondoa on the match, the tones of Valenciennes

LOUCHET 7 : he ensures from the start a punctual recovery from Nouri (6^e) then flies perfectly away on a shot from Sakhi (60^e). Quite a small demand, but he did everything he had to do to make it good.

KAYI SANDA 6 : In a match that gradually became tense, the young defender did not give up and showed authority in his interventions even if his position left something to be desired on the great Corsican opportunity at the start of the match.

WOUDENBERG 5 : a few limited tackles, but a crucial block at the end of the game to preserve the Northern victory. Symbol of a VA clinging to his happiness.

CUFFAUUT 6 : on the left side of the three-man defence, the captain showed authority and held the boat. Rarely found light this evening.

BASS 5 : the Senegalese occupied the space well as a stamp in the left lane. Valuable in a defensive role a bit more difficult in offensive projections with the exception of this good relay with Venema which ideally allows him to serve Foé Ondoa (32)^e).

BANK 6: he did a good job in the midfield battle. Replaced by Masson (74^e) who quickly got into the rhythm of an increasingly tense ending to the match.

FOE ONDOA 8 : his goal at the start of the second period is the just reward for a very good performance both with the ball and recovery. He should have already scored in the first half on a Basse serve, but his shot came close to the post (32^e). He was in all the good places.

THE LANGUAGE 6 : several dangerous strikes to his credit, he was comfortable along the length of the right lane and secured defensively as well.

FLAMARION 5 : his set-pieces have variable geometry: interesting on corners, far less so on free kicks. Still a little too much in the shadows to take the game personally. Replaced by Moursou (90^e+3)

VENEMA 5 : looking for a poorly supported back pass from Qumeper, but he lacks the clarity of his dribbling to clear the Corsican keeper (18.^e) in the face-to-face meeting that follows. He still pokes with accuracy to offset Foé Ondoa on the VA goal. Replaced by Oyewusi (66^e)

YOUNG 5 : so often used as a fixation point for the Corsican defence, he had too little opportunity to gain the upper hand and put himself in a shooting situation. Useful at times as first recuperator Replaced by Doucouré (74^e), he received a red card during the post-match settlement.
