the essential Large winner of Caen at home before the international break, the RAF saw its series of three consecutive victories come to an end after the draw conceded against Bastia, this Saturday evening (1-1).
Without the fourth minute of play, the RAF could say that it had a quality match last night against Bastia. But there was this fourth minute of play where the Aveyron defense was pierced by the long and powerful run of the island striker, Conte. The latter came to closely beat the Aveyron goalkeeper, Mpasi, while the Rouergats had started the game well. Also, and once again, the “blood and gold” found themselves trailing. We would say that this is the refrain of the season. This refrain is always followed by a frantic race to equalize. There, Bastia positioned itself as a resistance, barricading access to its goal with the excellent goalkeeper, Placide, as master of the fight.

Thus, the latter often diverted Aveyron shots on target – particularly in the second half, a big highlight for the RAF. The equalizer came in the form of a powerful header from RAF point man Clément Depres, freshly entered into the game alongside excellent midfielder Taïbi. Winning coaching from local coach, Didier Santini. This welcome equalizer will allow Rodez to avoid an unfair defeat. The Aveyronnais will nevertheless have to settle for a draw despite a last hope when a header from Corredor crashed into Placide’s post in stoppage time (90+2).

In the top 5!
Also, in the results of this match, we will once again remember the quality of the RAF in recovering a negative score as well as its habit of complicating its life with guilty periods of absence. Despite everything, the Ruthenois enter the top 5 of the ranking. Satisfaction? “I am frustrated with the first period because we were not consistent enough with our values,” said coach Didier Santini. Rodez continues to learn. Next stop, in Bordeaux, Saturday.
