The Ligue 1 match between Ajaccio and Stade Brestois 29 ended in a goalless draw, with both teams failing to score for ninety minutes. The match took place at the Stade François Coty and was watched by avid soccer fans around the world. In the first half, both sides made several attempts at goals, but none of them were successful. The first important development came in the seventeenth minute when Ajaccio released M. Barreto in place of K. Bayal. This substitution was followed by a yellow card received by Ajaccio player I. Diallo in the twenty-seventh minute. Stade Brestois 29 players S. Muni and M. Camara received yellow cards in the twenty-ninth and thirty-fourth minutes respectively. The second half of the match began with fresh forces when Stade Brestois 29 released F. Honore instead of R. Del Castillo, and Ajaccio made two substitutions, releasing I. Belaili instead of I. Tuzgar and R. Hamoumou instead of C. Spadanoude.
However, four minutes later, Y. Tuzgar, who had just been substituted, received a red card for a fight that occurred while he was still playing. This decision by the referee put Ajaccio at a disadvantage and made their goal scoring attempt even more difficult. As the second half progressed, Stade Brestois 29 made two more substitutions: M. Pereira Lage replaced R. Del Castillo and F. Lemarechal came on instead of M. Camara. Ajaccio also released C. Avinel instead of I. Diallo. In the eighty-second minute, Stade Brestois 29 made two more substitutions, replacing J. Le Doiron with A. Elis and H. Belkebla for H. Manietti. Despite several attempts, neither team was able to score during the ninety-minute match. The final score remained 0-0, and both teams ended the match in a goalless draw. Although Ajaccio may feel aggrieved by the red card, it is still a point they will take as both teams look to move up the Ligue 1 standings in the coming weeks.
