On Furiani's lawn, this Saturday, Paris FC won (1-0) an almost historic victory.
We must indeed go back to March 23, 2013 (2-1 at CA Bastia in National) to find Parisian success on the Corsican lands of its president Pierre Ferracci.
Beyond this statistical aspect, this team has again shown that it has a double face.
Often annoying and unproductive at Charléty, she turns into an almost impassable fortress on the outside while knowing how to sting her opponent at the right moment.
This victory in Bastia is the 4th in a row away from home after Grenoble (2-1), Nîmes (1-0) and Saint-Étienne (2-0) for Paris FC.
The Parisians have been the best team in L2 away from home (15 points taken out of a possible 24) since the start of this season.
To believe that the big atmospheres transcend this team.
After having already extinguished Geoffroy-Guichard on October 15, Paris FC completely stifled the Corsicans in the first period at Furiani.
Goalkeeper Johnny Placide multiplied the saves in front of Phiri, Lopez or Gory (twice) before Morgan Guilavogui opened the logical score (0-1, 34th), his 4th goal of the season.
“We left them nothing, welcomes Thierry Laurey.
There was ample opportunity to lead at least 2-0 at halftime.
Afterwards, it was a bit complicated with their change of system.
We lost Gory who was hit in the first half and I had to bring out Guilavogui who was charred.
It needed athletic presence.
But in the end we conceded very few chances.

“Now, it would be good to also take points at home in Charléty…”
On a few badly negotiated counterattacks at the end of the match, Paris FC could have taken shelter.
And avoid a scare in added time when the Bastiais claimed a penalty after a tackle from Mehdi Chahiri in the area (90th + 2).
But around a Samir Chergui, imperial, the defense proved to be very solid against a Corsican team which struggled to find the right offensive connections.
Some Bastia players were even whistled when they were replaced.
In midfield, we can also note the rise of South African Lebobang Phiri.
Injured in the calf during the 1st day at Sochaux (0-0), the former Guingampais loaned by Rizespor (D1 Turkey) was very present for his 3rd tenure in a row.
“We are really satisfied with this performance, recognizes Laurey.
We have seen really good things.
We showed real solidarity and solidity.
It confirms what we are capable of doing on the outside.
It's a good operation because we took points from several teams that were ahead of us.
Now, it would be good to also take points with us in Charléty.
Starting against Metz…”
Before the World Cup break, the Parisian club had set out to take at least 4 points in the last two games.
But a win on Saturday against Metz would turn his record from disappointing to decent.
And would maintain the flame for the second part of the season where he will recover several injured executives (Lasne, Boutaïb, Kante, Hamel…).
