J24 – Ligue 1 pro: ESS Falls, US Monastir and ES Zarzis Take Advantage!

The 24th day of the Tunisian championship concluded this Sunday, March 9, with suspense at its peak in the title race. Espérance de Tunis was held to a draw, allowing Union Sportive Monastirienne to close the gap and reignite the battle at the top of the standings.

US Monastir Closes in on the Leader

Playing away at Olympique de Béja, US Monastirienne secured a precious victory (1-0) thanks to a goal from Hazem Mastouri in the 36th minute. With this success, Faouzi Benzarti's men solidify their second place with 50 points, coming within just two points of the leader, Espérance de Tunis, which conceded a frustrating draw against US Ben Guerdane (1-1).

Étoile du Sahel and Club Africain Stalled

Meanwhile, Club Africain failed to capitalize on the leader's misstep. Visiting Avenir Sportif de Soliman, the Clubistes settled for a goalless draw (0-0), missing a valuable opportunity to close in on the summit.
