To stay alive, Chambly had no other solution than to beat Nancy. Four days from the end, the current 19th was back to the wall with five points behind his main direct competitor, Dunkirk, 18th and currently barrage. By settling for a draw (1-1), Chambly failed to turn the tide.
Like its hectic season, it is said that nothing will be spared in Chambly. Thus, from the warm-up, Thibault Jaques is injured and will not be able to hold his place in the defense. Without his usual captain, Bruno Luzi slid Maxence Derrien behind and finally started Joris Correa. “We save Thibault at Guingamp in view of this match and he freaks out on the last sprint before returning to the locker room, deplores Bruno Luzi, the Chambly coach. During the day, we also learned that for Medhy Guezoui, it was also season over. Until the end, nothing will be with us. ”
Probably tense by the stakes of the game, Chambly attacked the match at a small trot. The alarm clock is rung by Guillaume Heinry (20th). We then enter that the most favorable period for the Picards. Joachim Eickmayer then Lassana Doucouré forced Martin Sourzac to a high class stop (24th). In the process, Doucouré is once again dangerous (25th). The opportunities follow one another with Heinry (27th) and Gonzalez (33rd). Nancy side, the only fear comes from a reckless exit from Simon Pontdemé, that the Nancyians do not exploit (35th). As the minutes tick away, the Pierre-Brisson stadium scoreboard still shows a desperate 0-0, which is obviously not enough for Bruno Luzi’s players.
Joris Correa’s seventh goal
After the break, Chambly attacks to score the goal of hope. Guillaume Heinry’s volley passes right next to it (46th). The success that has often fled the Camblysiens is finally at the rendezvous. On a cross from Joris Correa, a Nancy hand is signaled by the referee Mr. Angoula. Picard’s top scorer took the opportunity to transform the penalty, even if Martin Sourzac started on the right side and brushed the ball (1-0, 54th). His seventh goal of the season is worth gold and allows the Camblysians to keep the flame alive. For twenty minutes, Chambly held his victory until this game of billiards in the Picardy defense. The ball returns to the feet of Triboulet who equalizes (1-1, 75th).
“I will have to review the images, but it still looks like an individual error,” says Luzi. Stunned, Chambly grazes the correctional on a cross taken by Biron who spins above (76th) and on Rocha (87th). Signs of fate for Chambly? No, Chambly is content with this draw (1-1) despite a last action from Badu (90th + 1). A small point that does not allow to pick up the standings, despite the defeat of Dunkirk to Auxerre (2-1), which still has four points ahead. “We’re still alive,” notes the coach. We wanted to take three points, we only take one. It is useless to know how to see further than the next match in Le Havre, which may be the last. We will have to prepare a shot there and manage to do it. This is the only way to still believe in maintaining. “
Three days from the end, the Oisiens are not yet relegated mathematically but the rescue operation is badly started by conceding this draw. In Le Havre next Saturday, it will certainly be the last chance match.
