Arbitration by Faissal Azargui assisted by Julien Delaleux and Jean Darolles
Goals for Saint Gaudens: Eyanda (28th on penalty and 73rd) Gramont (66th)
Goal for Lourdes: (23rd on penalty)
After having taken over the reserve of Lourdes, 3 to 1, Saint Gaudens now occupies the first place of the pool. Cyrille Mehay’s protégés were able to avoid the trap match against a Lourdes team in search of points and visibly come to defend and not leave too many spaces.
In this pattern which took shape around the paces attack defense, the Saint-Gaudinois kept the grip on the game but this possession does not prevent Lourdes from opening the score on penalty. Against the course of play.
“Faced with such a defensive team, I congratulate the players for having shown patience and fortunately that we equalized very quickly after the heavy goal. We are progressing game after game” recognizes Cyrille Mehay. Without pulling out all the stops, but staying in the right rhythm, Saint Gaudens quickly equalized through Eyanda who also converted from the penalty spot in response to the opener from Lourdes.
Erwan Cazaux injured
In the second half Gramont gives the advantage to the locals, then, when Lourdes begins to discover themselves, at the conclusion of a well-executed action it is Eyanda, the home scorer, who signs a new double and consolidates the advantage of his team. The only disappointment of the evening is the injury of Erwan Cazaux hit in the ankle and who had to abandon his partners during the game.
By signing its eighth victory of the season, Saint-Go therefore takes the lead in this pool D, alone, with a point lead over Plaisance with equal matches and three points over Balma who has played one more game.
To continue its march forward, the CSGF will meet the Rodeo reserve on Sunday in Toulouse.
