Ligue 1: beaten by Monaco, Dijon equal the record of defeats in a season

Logically defeated in Monaco (3-0), Dijon chained this Sunday a 12th consecutive defeat in Ligue 1. The DFCO thus equals an old record


There are records that no one wants to beat, or even to equal.

The greatest number of defeats in a Ligue 1 season is the first of these.

Beaten this Sunday in Monaco (3-0), Dijon FCO entered the history of the French championship despite itself, with a 12th loss in a row.

Such a "performance" had not been observed since the Cercle Athlétique de Paris in 1933-1934.

Already both feet in Ligue 2 (last with 15 points, 17 less than Lorient, first non-relegation), the Burgundians come out of the elite with their heads bowed.

An absent defense, Monaco takes advantage

Monaco is therefore added to the long series of executioners of the DFCO: Lorient (3-2), Lille (1-0), Lyon (1-0), Montpellier (4-2), Nîmes (2-0) , Lens (2-1), PSG (4-0), Brest (3-1), Bordeaux (3-1), Reims (1-0) and Marseille (2-0).

With another setback on the score of 3-0, Dijon conceded its seventh defeat (in the last 12 matches) by at least 2 goals.

And AS Monaco could have taken even more lead, as the domination was great.

Maripan, the Monegasque defender, notably saw his goal refused for offside (24th), before Jovetic came up against an impeccable Allagbé.

The Beninese goalkeeper even stopped a penalty hit by Ben Yedder (49th), but Jovetic followed well to conclude closely (1-0, 50th).

After another heroic parade, face-to-face with Caio Henrique (57th), Allagbé was again let down by his defense.

Lautoa missed his recovery, and Ben Yedder adjusted the sights (2-0, 63rd).

Monaco therefore did not have to force their talent to win, and keep all their title chances.

Nico Kovac's men (65 points) are only one point behind Paris Saint-Germain and four over Lille, the leader.

This is exactly 50 units more than Dijon, on the way to ending this season in the skin of the red lantern.
