“Thionville Lusitanos Dominates Basin Piennois in High-Stakes Match: Match Recap”

This match at the top between the leader and his (distant) dolphin kept all its promises. The Bassin Piennois like Thionville Lusitanos provided a remarkable score in terms of commitment and quality of play. The meeting started with the pedal to the metal: the Mosellens quickly deflowered the scoreboard after a defensive error from the FCBP. A counter and Pignatone found himself alone at the far post to crucify Luthardt (0-1, 8^e ). The Piennes had trouble recovering from it and it took a saving intervention from Allan Luthardt at the foot in front of Baradji to avoid the break (12^e ). Returning to an annoying habit this spring, Cédric Clerc’s men found themselves at 10 from the 30^e minute, the referee sending Fousse back to the locker room for an inappropriate reply. Despite this numerical inferiority, the locals had the opportunity to come back to score. Diawara, well launched, dribbled Junker, but his shot a bit too soft allowed Ferino to get the ball out on the line (40^e ). The Bassin Piennois also benefited from an indirect free kick for a back pass to the goalkeeper in the area.

Solid Thionvillois

Victor’s shot grazed Junker’s post (45^e ). In the second half, two decisive interventions by Luthardt against Baradji (57^e ) then Jacquel (59^e ) kept the locals in the game. An acceleration from Tomas, relayed by Diawara, put Ounzay in the ideal position to equalise. Incomprehensibly, this one was missing the empty frame (63^e )! Diawara had no more success on a lob in front of Junker, who came out to meet him (70^e ). Then came an undisputed fault by M’Fouatha in the Viennese area. Jacquel converted this penalty splendidly (0-2, 75^e ). The mass was said, the FCBP had not been unworthy, it could even have snatched a draw given the quality of its performance against a complete leader in all its lines and the forces coming out of the bench of Julien François.
