Despite their best efforts, Florian Danho and Mohamed Tougaï, who missed a crucial penalty, were unfortunate in their team's 0-0 draw against Sfaxiens. The result is a setback for the "Sang et Or" team.
La Presse - The Esperantists were once again denied luck as they were held to a goalless draw by Sfaxiens in Radès. The result does not reflect the intensity and quality of play in a thrilling classico that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. The 22 players delivered a great performance, and the attackers created numerous scoring opportunities, only to be thwarted by solid defenses.
The "Sang et Or" attackers were also unfortunate, starting with Florian Danho, who had a goal denied after a beautiful assist from Kouceila Boualia (10'). After a VAR review, the referee deemed that Chiheb Jebali was offside at the start of the play.
About 20 minutes later, Danho was sandwiched in a tight duel in the penalty area by the Sfaxien duo Habchia-Mondeko. The ASG forward earned a penalty that was missed by Mohamed Amine Tougaï, whose shot hit the post (32').
To be honest, the first half was marked by denied goals. Hichem Baccar scored in stoppage time (45'+7), but the goal was ruled out after a VAR review for offside.
In the second half, the ASG attackers missed other scoring opportunities: Hmidhi, who was served a plate, saw his shot graze the post (72'), and Danho's powerful shot was cleared by Dahmen, who made a great save (82').
In the end, the Sfaxiens returned to Radès with a precious point. The "Sang et Or" team, on the other hand, missed an opportunity to catch up with Club Africain, who slipped up the previous day against Soliman's Capbonais.
ASG Officially Relegated to Ligue 2
