The Bastiais, who remained on two reverses in a row, made the difference thanks to a nice goal from Migouel Alfarola who, at the conclusion of a great collective action, took over without opposition a surgical center behind his captain Christophe Vincent (55th ) to the great delight of the 14,000 spectators.
The arrival on the bench of Lilian Laslandes, the former Girondin and Auxerre striker, to succeed Régis Brouard, sacked the day after the defeat at Valenciennes (3-1) on January 29, seems to have created an electric shock that he will have to be confirmed on Saturday in Quevilly-Rouen.
