Ivorian league: ASEC Mimosas avoid Sol FC trap

The twentieth round of LONACI Ligue 1 wraps up this Monday. On Sunday, ASEC Mimosas pulled off a remarkable result to hold onto their spot at the top of the table.

At the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpé, ASEC Mimosas faced a tough challenge from Sol FC. The Mimosas fell behind twice, but came back each time before snatching victory thanks to a brace from the talented Souleymane Fofana. Julien Chevalier's men thus avoided a second consecutive defeat after last week's loss to SOA.

Meanwhile, their closest chaser, San Pedro, also stumbled (0-0) against the military side and remain five points behind the leaders. CO Korhogo did what mattered most (1-0) against FC OSA to climb onto the podium. Mouna FC could overtake them if they beat Stade d'Abidjan this Monday, March 2.
