Dijon v ASSE tops and flops: Ballo at the double, Naïr struggles | OneFootball

Ballo struck twice and Boakye added the winner as Saint-Étienne won a scrappy contest at Dijon on Monday night, a result that leaves them four points clear.

According to Le Progres, the visitors relied on individual quality and, above all, their collective resolve, which showed after Dijon’s second goal.

Often stationed wide on the left, the Austrian forward first converted Irvin Cardona’s pass to open the scoring on 35 minutes.

After Dijon had scored twice, he levelled on 65 minutes, reacting first when Pedro’s effort was parried.

Boakye then delivered the decisive strike to secure a precious victory.

Tireless throughout, Ballo also tracked back to help Bernauer on his flank before making way.
