OCPAM and Ajaccio Gfco played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw in French Championnat National 3 on May 10, 2026. The result was a fair reflection of a tight contest where both sides had spells of dominance but lacked a cutting edge for long periods.

Match Overview

The match began with Ajaccio Gfco controlling possession, moving the ball confidently across the pitch. They took the lead in the 19th minute when a well-worked move down the right flank ended with a low cross being slotted home at the near post.
