Ajaccio seemed poised to secure their first away victory of the season, only for Guingamp to stage a remarkable comeback in the final five minutes of the match. Similar to their performance last week against Evian, En Avant demonstrated resilience, ultimately winning 2-1. The turnaround was completed by Moustapha Diallo, providing the Breton club with the advantage in stoppage time.
In a dramatic turn of events, Diallo, a tall Senegalese midfielder who entered the game in place of Sankharé, sealed the victory with a header from a right-sided cross. The astonishing late goal left Ochoa, the Ajaccio goalkeeper, helpless.
The comeback marked one of the standout performances of the evening, and the unexpected turn of events brought smiles to the faces of the Gourvennec players. The coach’s decision to bring in the two goal-scorers in the second half proved to be a strategic move. En Avant Guingamp now sits in fifth place with 17 points, making it one of the best operations of the night for the Breton club.
