Bowing to the penultimate, the Angoumoisins are doubled by Andrézieux, who did not tremble at Trélissac (0-1). They might even back down to the 4e place, at the particular goal average, if Le Puy recovers on the green carpet the three points of the reception of Canet, accused of having provided false Covid certificates to benefit from a postponement.
If mathematically nothing is lost in the race for the title, optimism is no longer necessary. Certainly, the first place remains at four points, as before this 24e day of National 2, but, beyond the accounting aspect, it is the performance of the Charentais who worries.
Lobo’s post
Faced with relegation within their reach, the Angoumoisins never seemed able to avoid defeat. This second consecutive setback – after Andrézieux (1-0) on March 25 – sounds like a setback for a team that no longer benefits from a positive dynamic and the success that accompanies it.
Balancing on a wire since the start of the season, the ACFC has often benefited from a little help from fate to emerge unscathed from badly embarked business. Not Saturday. Joffrey Lobo can testify to this, he who thought of pulling off a miraculous equalizer in the 43e minute. A bad bounce and the ball changed course to hit the post.
Clément Jolibois had no more success in opening the columérine score. A poorly controlled tackle, an unfavorable counter and the Angoumoisin defender, on the buttocks, saw Kévin Cardinali go and beat Hunou (0-1, 33). On the only occasion of the first period of visitors who however did not steal their advantage at halftime.
Colomiers kills the match against
Luck often smiles on the daring. Saturday, the Angoumoisins did not provoke it by signing their worst performance of their season. Embarrassed by the columérin pressing, they multiplied the technical approximations and abused long balloons. Ball losses that seemed to plunge them into doubt while Colomiers gained confidence. More combative, the “Toulousains” had this extra soul which made them win the duels. Which was enough to make the difference in such a poor match.
Faced with a team from Colomiers who quickly retreated once the scoring opened, the ACFC seemed more at ease, finally managing to bring out the balls properly. But it was sorely lacking in rhythm and initiative to destabilize an opponent who was not so serene.
And efficiency has still not been there on the two big opportunities of the second act. Launched in depth, Charly Dutournier missed his duel with Rémi Goryl because of poor ball handling (52). And Étienne Desroches had no more success against the Columérin porter (67).
Friable defensively, like a Jolibois-Dieye hinge in difficulty, the Angoumoisins were punished on a counter flash concluded by Kévin Cardinali (0-2, 78). And without the clumsiness of Pierre Legrand, the end of the match could have turned into a correction for Angoumoisins, stunned, and unable to react (81).
The ACFC will have to win at all costs, Saturday, in Nantes, to keep a chance of fighting for the title.
Giguel: “I don’t think we deserved much better”
David Giguel, ACFC coach. “This defeat at this time of the season complicates the rest. We were seven games from the end. We should have taken the three points to put ourselves in the best conditions to tackle the final sprint. Unfortunately, we came across a team from Colomiers who played well, who waited for us and countered us. We had difficulty finding offensive sequences that could unbalance them due to lack of movement, technical accuracy, speed, coordination. We slept all the time even though it was not what was requested. We had asked to alternate from right to left but it can also be done on land. We lost in the first half. We misread the situation. And, once again, we lacked the technical accuracy to be able to play between the lines. We also lacked defensive and offensive efficiency. And we have a little failed in the commitment. Tonight, I don’t think we deserved much better. We are all responsible. We will have to come back on Monday with a lot of desire to try to get the clock back on track. We are in a period a little less well but we are still there. I still have confidence in us. »
ACFC striker Joffrey Lobo. “We were keen to win this game at home against a very poorly ranked team. Unfortunately, we didn’t get into the match at all from the first to the last minute. We were dangerous once or twice, it’s too little. In the first half, we tried too hard for direct play. We quickly lost the ball, we ran after it when it was not the desired goal. The result is logical. They played well by recovering balls inside or by countering us. We did not have the expected success on our rare occasions. »
