Following their win over ESZ, the Cap‑Bonnaise side now keep alive hopes of staying up, while JSO further deepens the blow to ASG.
Preview of Round 23 of Ligue 1
Two matches took place yesterday, both featuring teams that have been stuck in the lower‑mid part of the table.
| Home Team | Opponent | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| ESZ | AS Soliman | Kram |
| JSO | AS Gabès | Zliza (the “Zliza” arena) |
The four clubs had clear objectives:
- AS Soliman (ASS) wanted to end a streak of five consecutive defeats.
- ESZ aimed to return to winning ways after a run of seven matches without a point.
- AS Gabès, sitting second‑to‑last, needed a victory to kick‑start its fight for survival.
- JS Omrane (the “sparkling” side) was also looking to secure three points.
Thus, the stage was set for an intense encounter.
Key Moments
- First Half: Both games were dead‑locked; no goals were scored.
- Second Half:
- JSO broke the deadlock thanks to Mustapha Souissi.
- ASS opened the scoring through Ahmed Bouassida.
Final Results
| Match | Result | Notable Scorers |
|---|---|---|
| ESZ vs. AS Soliman | ESZ 2–1 (after a brief period of dominance) | Mustapha Souissi (2 goals) |
| JSO vs. AS Gabès | JSO 2–0 | Mustapha Souissi (both goals, the second at the 102nd minute) |
Despite a short spell of control, ESZ ultimately fell to the pragmatic play of the Cap‑Bonnaise side. At the same time, AS Gabès was beaten twice by JS Omrane, with Souissi’s brace sealing the win.
