These two have not let go of each other for two seasons. Sporting Club de Gagnoa got closer to Asec Mimosas on March 4, 2023 after their victory at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké. In the brand new stadium of the 2023 AFCON, the Gagnolese won by 2 goals to 0 against the SOA.
Bally Dakoury was the first scorer on this renovated pitch. The Sporting striker scored in the second minute of play before his teammate Zié Coulibaly imitated him (31st).
In this duel of runners-up of Asec, Gagnoa takes the second place. The Blue-Yellow are now only 2 points behind the leaders Yellow-Black, who will play their game late on March 29 because of the Confederation Cup. For the SOA, a notable fact; for the first time since the beginning of the season, the best attack of the championship (28 goals) connects two games without scoring a single goal.
The other sensation of this 20th day is Stade d'Abidjan. The Blue-Red have won for the third time in a row. The Alexandre Lafitte effect is clearly felt. The young French technician (25 years old), who arrived a few months ago, has transformed the promoted team, taking it from 13th to 7th place. The bad news of the day is the death of Sylla Moustapha in the middle of the match RCA against SOL FC (3-1).
