The Nouste Camp hosted Pau and Niort for the penultimate day of Ligue 2. A score of 2-2 sealed the outcome of the match.

Essende scored a brace, marking the match with his strong performance.

We will also remember the beautiful match of Zemzemi, who distinguished himself with his decisive pass and his goal.

The Pau de Tholot team played in a classic 4-4-2 and those of Desabre played in a balanced 4-2-3-1 with Mendes in the lead.

Quickly after the kick-off, Niort, thanks to Zemzemi, managed to find the back of the goal net, on a service from Tormin, from the 8th.

Then, in the 17th minute, Essende scored against Desabre's men.

In the 31st, the young striker Boutobba found his way to the Pau net.

At the break, each team returned to the locker room with a score of 1-2.

Finally, Essende snatched the equalizer with a goal in the 56th.

The referee attended a rather calm match and was not brought out of the box.

Pau does not change places and remains temporarily in 12th position.

The draw allows Niort to take 10th position in the provisional classification after this penultimate day.
