Ajaccio loses 0-2 to Clermont in Ligue 1 Round 38; Ajaccio and Angers relegated

### Ajaccio's Losses Highlight Ligue 1's Turmoil

In a disappointing start to the season for Ajaccio, the French club suffered two significant defeats in their opening round match against Clermont Foot. The 0-2 home loss to Clermont on Saturday marked a concerning turn of events for Ajaccio, who had been aiming to build momentum ahead of the league campaign.

The first half saw Clermont take control with goals from both Kevin Schar and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, setting up a commanding lead. While Ajaccio did manage to create some chances through efforts like Yannick Bolasie's header and Moussa Dembélé's shot on goal, they were unable to convert them into a victory.

The second half continued in the same vein as the first, with Clermont maintaining its dominance. The final whistle blew with Ajaccio trailing 2-0, leaving the home side with a difficult task ahead of them in their pursuit of promotion.

This result comes just days after Ajaccio lost to Lyon in the previous match, further dampening spirits and adding to the uncertainty surrounding the team's prospects. The club has now fallen behind Clermont and Lyon in the table, with only 6 points to their name so far, which is not enough to secure a top-four finish.

Moreover, the defeat to Clermont brings Ajaccio closer to relegation. With only 4 matches remaining in the regular season, losing to such a strong team could be a critical blow. The club must work hard to improve their performance if they want to avoid the drop down to the lower divisions of Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, Angers, another club that was struggling early on this season, also found themselves in trouble when they were defeated 2-0 at home by Bordeaux. This added another layer of pressure to the already tense situation in Ligue 1, where many teams are fighting to stay above the relegation zone.

These losses underscore the challenges faced by many clubs in Ligue 1, particularly those in the middle of the table. The competition remains intense, and every point gained can make a difference in securing a spot in the top four or avoiding relegation. For Ajaccio and Angers, it will be crucial to bounce back quickly and improve their form before the end of the season.
