Seventeen years earlier, on April 22, 2006, 40,000 Nancy supporters had traveled to Paris for the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, won by Lorraine against Nice. We are far from it, after the passage of the Nancy club at the Stade Boutroux of Paris 13 Atletico, in a camera decreed by the FFF for a National meeting scheduled for a Friday at 3 p.m..
Despite a favorable scenario, since it led twice in the score, the ASNL did not even manage to win against an opponent who will return to N2 next season. We must now pray that Nancy does not accompany him in the cart of the six relegated. After this 2-2 draw that looked like a defeat, the risks of a descent into the fourth division have probably never been so high.
We have known for some time that the ASNL has already fallen very low, led for the first time in its history in National by its new American shareholders who have multiplied the incredible errors for a little over two years, but we have had a lot trouble, this Friday, to see the thistle training so feverish at this real amateur club.
The Nancyians could also have found themselves behind the mark from the first seconds of play, on a corner taken by Far, next door (2e ). Quite miraculously, however, it was Nancy who quickly took the lead in this disputed match on an old-generation synthetic pitch, a carpet. Corner from Mouazan, smashed header from El Aynaoui at the near post and 1-0 for ASNL (9e ) who hadn’t done much good so far. This goal did not even help the Lorraine to break free. They remained amorphous, without energy, to the point of letting Paris 13 Atletico approach Sourzac’s cage too easily.
Lefebvre misses the break
To end this lackluster first half, Nancy found a way to award the home side a penalty for a largely avoidable foul by Etcheverria. Gomes converted it in two stages, after an initial save from the keeper.
ASNL attacked the second half with better intentions, rewarded by a victorious free kick from Mouazan (58e ). The hard part was done? Well no ! Because in the process, Nancy confirmed her lack of pep and solidity by conceding a big opportunity (59th). In these conditions, it would have been necessary to score a third goal to really take shelter, except that the post pushed back the head of Lefebvre (71e ).
Far from behaving like a team that has the future of the club and its employees between its feet, Nancy was finally joined again, on a strike from Sidibé inadvertently deflected by Pellegrini (83e ). In the last minutes, the thistle formation remained much too soft defensively and it also badly negotiated two or three very interesting shots to play against. In short, the ASNL did not deserve better than this sad 2-2 and it is frankly worrying.
PARIS 13 ATLETICO – ASNL : 2-2
Buts. Paris : Gomes (45e ), Sidibe (83e ); Nancy: El Aynaoui (8e ), Mouazan (58e ).
