Rodez won on the wire against Pau (2-1) after a crazy end to the match, Saturday January 13 at the Stade Paul-Lignon during the 20th day of Ligue 2.

Rodez thought he had lost everything at the end of the match following Sylla's equalizer from the penalty spot in the 88th minute, responding to Abdallah's opening score in start of the second period (53rd). All this only a few minutes after Danger was sent off for a second yellow card in the 88th minute.

But that was without counting on a magnificent action between Younoussa and Taïbi in the 90th + 5 minute concluded by the first cited with a heavy strike to explode the Stade Paul- Lignon. In the standings, the Ruthenois climb to seventh place in Ligue 2, and come back to within a small point of fifth place, synonymous with the play-off, occupied by their evening opponent, Pau.
