Five minutes is the time it took for Mounaïm El Idrissy to overturn the match in favor of the Ajacciens, thanks to coaching inspired by Corsican coach Olivier Pantaloni.
Entering in the 65th minute in place of Gaëtan Courtet, the ACA striker scored in the 68th minute, superbly served with a header by Jean-Philippe Krasso.
But two minutes later he was writhing on the pitch, after a charge and a nasty sole from William Bianda on his ankle.
Consequence: red card for the Nancy, and here are the locals, last of L2 condemned to play a big fifteen minutes at ten in this clash of extremes against the Corsicans who play the direct climb.
Logically Cyrille Bayala worsened the score for AC Ajaccio in the 85th.
However, in this tense and closed match, it was Nancy who proved to be the most dangerous in front of the stands of the Marcel-Picot stadium: in the 22nd with a double reflex save from Benjamin Leroy after a strike from Mamadou Thiam and above all a Bobichon's free kick in the 57th, beautifully shot but failed on the post of Ajaccio goalkeeper Baptiste Valette.
7 days from the end of the Championship, Nancy remains the red lantern with 23 points and will travel to Sochaux (5th) on Saturday to try to get closer to Quevilly, the first non-relegation player, while Ajaccio will receive Pau (8th) the same day.
