The 9th round of the Senegalese Ligue 2 did not shake up the standings. Held to a draw, the leaders missed the opportunity to widen the gap, thus maintaining a very tight league table at the top.

Indeed, the top three teams – AS Douanes, Diambars, and Guelewaars – were all held to draws. AS Douanes, leading the table with 16 points, were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom-of-the-table Ndiambour in a clash of extremes. Diambars, who could have taken advantage of the draw to seize the top spot, also stumbled against Essamaye FC (0-0). Guelewaars fared no better away at Bambey: the Fatick side (3rd, 14 points) were held to a 0-0 draw by AS Bambey.

However, the other Fatick club, Jamono, had a successful outing, defeating Port 3-0. Thanks to this victory, Jamono climbs to 4th place with 14 points.

On the other hand, things are going from bad to worse for Niary Tally. The Galactics, who were top of the league for much of the first five matchdays, have suffered a second consecutive defeat, losing to Oslo FA (1-0).

At the El Hadji Babacar Gaye stadium, AS Kaffrine (11th, 10 pts) bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Thiès FC. Meanwhile, AS Saloum, playing away in the capital, earned a valuable point by holding Teranga SC to a 1-1 draw.

Meanwhile, Amitié gave themselves a much-needed boost by beating DUC (1-0). A valuable victory that allows the Thiessois club (14th, 9 pts) to climb out of the relegation zone they were in.
