Unusual scene at the Gaston-Gérard stadium in the 75th. Dijon has just scored a third goal against Red Star (3-0) when the stadium alarm sounds with an alert message repeatedly asking the public to evacuate the stands. Amid general incomprehension, the players and staff also returned to the locker rooms. But after about ten minutes of confusion, the stadium announcer asks the public to come back. It was in fact a false alarm. After fifteen minutes of interruption, the match was able to resume.
Even the external elements did not come to save the Red Star this Friday evening. In the euphoria, Habib Beye had hammered it home: his team did not have a margin even if it marched on the National with an impressive series. Dijon thus brutally broke this series. Undefeated since the 2nd day (August 18), the Saint-Ouen club therefore stops at eleven games unbeaten (9 wins, 2 draws).
This defeat does not have too many consequences in the standings for the leader who still has an 8-point lead over Niort (which hosts Sochaux this Monday) and 9 over Martigues and Villefranche. But it sounds like a warning. The Red Star has indeed seemed less dashing for several weeks as its draw at Niort (1-1) had already shown, its victory (2-1) at the last minute in the 90th against Marignane-Gignac, a relegated team on the verge of filing for bankruptcy, and its elimination in the 7th round of the Coupe de France last Saturday in Châteauroux (2-1).
Dijon, which is starting to regain color under the direction of Benoit Tavenot, the former assistant to Frédéric Antonetti in Metz and Strasbourg, took advantage of the Ile-de-France defensive errors. Not on a good evening, the Audoniens fell on a goalkeeper Robin Risser (18 years old), decisive on numerous occasions, against Cissé (13th, 62nd) or Durand (32nd, 33rd). He even stopped the penalty taken too weakly by Merwan Ifnaoui which could have allowed Red Star to return to 2-1 (70th).
Warned in the first period, Habib Beye was sent off just after the interruption for having had words with the referee. It was from the stands that he saw the reduction in the score of Achille Anani (3-1, 90th + 4), his 4th goal of the season.
