After their success last week against Grenoble, the Montalbanais may have had a good shot yesterday at the foot of the City. And climate change requires, it is in a relative sweetness but especially without wind (!) That the two teams were opposed. Perhaps the opportunity to see an airy game. But it is good that Maxime Mathy (who succeeds Jérôme Bosviel, injured for a few weeks) puts the Sapiacans ahead in the score on the first scrum (0-3, 4th). On the second, the Carcassonnais are again at the punishment and Maxime Mathy finds the right post (8th). If it is the Tarn-et-Garonnais who have the ball, the Audois come back up to their first foray into the 50 meters opponents (3-3, 11th). The Sapiacans are in the game and even register the first try by Pierre Sayerse in the corner (3-8, 14th). We find the winger of the greens and blacks on a sumptuous return of the candle but his pass for Cyril Deligny is very slightly forward while the whole Carcassonne defense was taken back (20th). The Sapiacans do better than defend themselves and keep the dragee high for their hosts by pressing them very high and making them commit faults which Max Mathy enjoys (6-14, 25th). Tactically, the Sapiacans have mastered and will even finish the first act in numerical superiority for a veneer in the air on Maxime Salles. Matt Beukeboom’s surprising release at the end of the first act will somewhat restore things.
USC presses the accelerator
The Sapiacans who even find themselves at thirteen of second act entry following the exit of Faitotoa Asa for shoulder tackle. Undoubtedly what some may regard as the turning point of the match. From there, the greens and blacks will suffer, far too much. This is a double penalty since the Audois pass back on a strong test by Talemaitoga Tuapati (42nd). Surprised, Maxime Mathy’s teammates regained their senses but were countered this time and no longer managed to advance on the impacts. The Carcassonnais are in turn on a good dynamic and give themselves an additional margin on a test by their captain Andrei Ursache (23-14, 56th). This is becoming more and more complicated for the Montalbanians who cannot find the solutions of the first act. The penetrating groups of the USC are linked but the Montalban resistance is admirable. It now remains for the USM to try to fetch the defensive bonus point. They will have a final ammunition at the last minute but will get the ball shut.
In the end, the Montalbanians can harbor regrets as they have had opportunities to do much better. But once again he will have missed this little bit of success that has been dragging on for too long.
