In need of results and closely followed by Laval and Bastia, the last two in the ranking, Amiens gave itself some fresh air this Monday by beating Clermont.
Thanks to a goal from Averlant in the last minute, the Picards won 4-3 at the Licorne, Leautey, Lô and Kandil having previously responded – and vice versa – to a hat-trick from Diédhiou for the Auvergnats.
The Amiens, still blocking at this time, are thus returning to the level of the Clermontois, with Boulogne and Nancy now in their sights.
