The Ligue 1 round 38 match between Ajaccio and Clermont was a disappointing affair as the teams struggled to find any rhythm in their attack.

Ajaccio had the better chance early on as they were awarded a penalty but could not convert it into a goal. The French side then went on to score first after just five minutes when they scored through a deflection by Jérémy Azzani.

Clermont responded with two quick goals from Nabil Fekir and Antoine Griezmann to put them ahead at half-time.

However, Ajaccio came back within two minutes with a goal from Tchouane Diarra. However, Clermont's goalkeeper made a save to deny them the equaliser.

In the second half, Ajaccio looked to be in control as they continued to press and dominate possession. However, Clermont's defensive solidity kept them in touch and eventually won the game with a penalty.

It was a disappointing result for Ajaccio who will now face the relegation zone in the next round of matches. It was a reminder that Ajaccio needs to improve their attacking play if they want to stay in the top flight of French football.
