Gaëtan Courtet struck first for Ajaccio in the 21st minute on a feed from Riad Nouri, then Cyrille Bayala added another in the 53rd minute In the end, Dijon was frustrated by Ajaccio’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Ajaccio ended the match with the shutout victory. Ajaccio should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
