Mathematically, nothing has yet been done for Castelnaudary since there are two games left to play, but the chances of the Chauriens are dwindling after this 2-1 defeat against Canet-en-Roussillon.
All the Chauriens knew that this meeting was important against these Canétois who had not yet said their last word for the climb to Regional 1.
Everything started under the best auspices for the teammates of captain Nougoum who attacked foot to the floor by invading the visitors’ camp. In the 3rd minute, Kérimé fires a direct free kick and from 25 meters, sends a cannonball which ends its race in the back of the Catalan net. The visitors are knocked out standing and flouting their football. Unfortunately for the COC, its slammed central defender Ndoh, very safe until this moment, had to leave the field in the 12th minute. Castelnaudary nevertheless continued its domination until that fateful 45th minute, a handful of seconds before the break, which saw the Canet captain Buxéda, the best of his team on Saturday evening, take advantage of a gross defensive error to equalize at 1 everywhere.
The COC is third
Back on the pitch, the Roussillonnais seem to have regained their organization. They monopolize the ball and barely 3 minutes after the restart, following a new defense error from the Audois, Gambié scores for the visitors (48th). During the next forty minutes, the COC will force to come back to the score but in vain. The Catalan defence, which seemed too slow against the swift COC attackers at the start of the game, finally held on thanks to their excellent organization. The minutes go by, the Chauriens try the impossible but Canet-en-Roussillon feels that the outcome can be favorable and does not give up the slightest inch of ground.
Mathematically, nothing is done yet since there are two games left to play, but the chances of the Chauriens are dwindling since at the end of this evening, Seysses who won at St-Sulpice is in the lead with 58 points, Canet is 2nd with 53 points and a goal average of +52 and the COC is 3rd with a goal average of +29.
