Chambly was counting a lot on the coming of the promoted Dunkirk, this Saturday in Beauvais during the 9th day of Ligue 2, to get back in the direction of the market in a championship which is decidedly refused to him for the moment.
This was not the case at the end of a match, without shooting on target, played behind closed doors due to the confinement announced by Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Beaten (0-1) on a throw of the dice, a penalty conceded by Saquil Delos in the 57th minute, Bruno Luzi's players cash their 4th loss in a row, the sixth since the start of the competition.
Having become a red lantern a week earlier after the slap in the face at Auxerre (4-0), they continue to bring up the rear.
The action of the match: the penalty conceded by Shaquil Delos
We play the 57th minute.
On the heels of Alioune Ba who enters the area, Shaquil Delos makes a small mistake by pushing the Northerner.
The referee, Bartolomeu Varela, does not hesitate and points to the penalty spot.
A sanction that Emeric Dudouit takes care of.
His strike on the left takes Simon Pontdemé, who left on his left, against the odds.
The Camblysian goalkeeper, who will have nothing to do with the match, must get the ball in his net (0-1, 58th).
A blow for Chambly, and for Shaquil Delos, unhappy hero of Chambly this Saturday.
Three minutes earlier, he had indeed been on the verge of opening the scoring.
His grazing cross to the right had been deflected by Alioune Ba, under pressure from Vlatko Stojanovski, at the near post.
Only the presence of Axel Maraval, on the trajectory, allowed Ba not to score against his camp, thus depriving Chambly of a great opportunity to gain the upper hand in the game.
To make matters worse, Maxence Derrien, late, made a mistake on Kerrouche which earned him a red card (67th).
The virus invites itself around the match
In addition to the confinement announced by Emmanuel Macron this Wednesday evening in his televised address and the match played, as a result, behind closed doors this evening, the Covid-19 pandemic had other consequences on the match between Chambly and Dunkirk.
On the northerly side, it is the trainer Fabien Mercadal who is positive for covid-19.
Still negative in the test passed Wednesday, the coach was taken by a high fever during the night from Thursday to Friday.
He tested again on Friday and tested positive.
In the process, the players and the staff were, in turn, tested.
All are negative.
It was Frédéric Basire who replaced him on the bench.
On the Chambly side, attacking midfielder Guillaume Heinry, who had not been selected in the group by Bruno Luzi, also tested positive for covid.
The number: 11.
If Dunkirk, promoted, joined Chambly this season in Ligue 2, the two teams are in fact old acquaintances.
This match was the 11th matchup in the championship between the two former National residents since Chambly arrived at this level in 2014-2015.
Until tonight, Chambly had four wins, including two away, in 10 games.
The last Camblysian success was dated December 21, 2018 (1-2).
The two teams have shared the points on three occasions (only once in Chambly).
Bruno Luzi's players only had three losses, two of which were on their turf.
It is also with a 1-2 defeat at the Stade des Marais that the two teams left on May 9, 2019 for their last confrontation before tonight.
