# Disappointment in AJACCIO AND ANGERS AS BOTH DROP POINTS IN LIGUE 1 ROUND 38
The 38th round of Ligue 1 saw two teams, Ajaccio and Angers, drop points in disappointing fashion as they fell to Clermont. Both sides had high hopes heading into the match but ultimately failed to secure all three points, leaving them searching for answers heading into the final stretch of the season.
## Ajaccio's Misfortune
Ajaccio, currently sitting in 16th place, were looking to extend their recent positive form but were ultimately let down by a lack of efficiency in front of goal. Clermont emerged victorious thanks to a single goal from Gaëtan Laborde in the 57th minute. Ajaccio dominated possession but struggled to break down a resilient Clermont defense. The home side had chances, with Bohdan Mykhaylichenko and Luis Rioja going close, but their failure to convert proved costly. Ajaccio are now winless in their last three games and face a battle to avoid relegation.
## Angers' Woes
Angers, who are 18th in the table, were hoping to build on their recent defensive solidity but were unable to break down a stubborn Clermont side. The visitors controlled large parts of the game but lacked the finishing touch, with key players like Quentin Daury and Saad Agoun making little impact. A late header from Clermont's Maxime Kouassi sealed the deal, leaving Angers frustrated. This result extends their winless streak to four games, and with only five matches remaining, they must improve quickly to avoid dropping into Ligue 2.
## Implications for Both Clubs
Both Ajaccio and Angers will need to regroup as they face crucial matches in the coming weeks. Ajaccio, while still mathematically able to avoid relegation, must improve defensively and start converting chances into goals. For Angers, the pressure is even greater, with survival a genuine concern. Meanwhile, Clermont's impressive performance will serve as a reminder of the quality in Ligue 1, even at this stage of the season.
## Conclusion
The drop in points for both Ajaccio and Angers in Round 38 is a setback, but the season is far from over. With five games remaining, both clubs have the chance to turn their form around and secure their respective objectives. However, the manner of their defeats will linger in the memory as they prepare for the final push to end the campaign on a high note.
