Dijon 3:0 Sochaux — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Julien Domingues, Alexis N'Tamack and a late own-goal fired Dijon to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sochaux in this Club Friendly. The scoreline was emphatic but the match was played out in the unglamorous context of a pre-season run-out, with both sides clearly still finding their rhythm.

The deadlock was broken just before the interval when Julien Domingues struck in the 44th minute to give Dijon the lead. Sochaux’s hopes of a response were dashed shortly after the hour mark, as Alexis N'Tamack doubled the advantage in the 59th minute. A third goal arrived deep into stoppage time at 90 minutes, credited as a Sochaux own-goal, which sealed a comprehensive win that flattered the victors in terms of the overall balance of play.

Despite the three-goal margin, the statistics reveal a far more even contest: possession was split exactly at 50% each, and Sochaux actually forced more corners, four to Dijon’s two, suggesting they were not outplayed. Mehdi Fornelli was the standout player for Dijon, earning a 7.67 rating for his performance from midfield, though he did not score. CheckLive's model provided no prediction for this fixture, and with no next fixture listed, Dijon will simply take the positives from a workmanlike victory.
