End the season in style, well almost. Chambéry quietly won this Saturday evening against Dunkerque for his last game of the season in front of a conquered audience. Victory 29 to 22 Savoyards at the lighthouse in front of 800 people. But at the final whistle, it is to the European Cup that some think, because Chambéry, sixth in the ranking of Starligue, is no longer master of his own destiny
The Savoyards will have to wait until Wednesday and watch, from their sofa, the match between Toulouse and Ivry to know their future. The Savoyards will qualify for the European Cup only in the event of defeat in Toulouse.
The Portner cartridge
For the players in any case, it is now time to rest. A well-deserved vacation, starting with the goalkeeper, Nikola Portner. The Swiss goalkeeper, impeccable at the end of the season, was once again imperial in his cages with 14 successful saves. In attack, the winger Benjamin Richert scored five goals (5/7), as did the back Iosu Goni Leoz.
Stress all the way
Chambéry and its rejuvenated team therefore ends this 2020-2021 fiscal year with 12 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses and can feed regrets. The “Yellow and Black” have left points on the way, especially at home, against teams yet affordable on paper. Despite the end of the championship, the pressure has not completely subsided: see you on Wednesday, after the Toulouse match, to really feel on vacation.
