Thanks to goals signed Bammou (53e), Sasso (65e) and Courtet (83e on penalty), the Dunkirks won 3-1 in this almost one-sided game.
The Normans found the fault through Brahimi (73e) but the Northerners knew how to master their subject from start to finish, thus recovering third place at the expense of Metz, level with Paris FC and two lengths behind the Lorient leader.
The Caennais for their part find themselves in the red, in 16e position, with a small point collected over the last four days of the championship.
