Espérance de Zarzis Loses Top Spot After Home Defeat to US Monastir
The Espérance de Zarzis has lost its leadership position after suffering a defeat at home against US Monastir. The Stade Tunisien has taken over the top spot, having won against Olympique de Béja.
A Painful Defeat
According to La Presse, some defeats can be particularly painful. For Anis Boujelbène and his players, stumbling at home against US Monastir has cost them their leadership position. The Monastirians, although not exceptionally brilliant, did what was necessary by taking the lead in the additional time of the initial period, with a goal scored by Moez Haj Ali (45'+4).
Controversial Goal
The goal was validated after a VAR review, although the Zarzissiens believe that Haj Ali's goal was preceded by a foul. However, Anis Boujelbène's men, who were unrecognizable, did not make much of an effort to get back into the game, except for Hédi Jertila's massive miss, who, face to face with the Monastirian goalkeeper, Abdessalem Hallaoui (79'), shot weakly into his hands.
A Disappointing Performance
Despite the eight minutes of additional time, the Zarzissiens, who have undoubtedly delivered their worst performance since the start of the season, can only blame themselves.
