Faced with a Courchevel team that was playing without pressure, the Corsairs suffered at the start of the match, conceding two goals in less than 5 minutes of play. A cold spell at Petit Port, interim coach François Dusseau took a time out to stop the bleeding and above all put his team back in place.
“We must rectify and work on our mistakes” believes François Dusseau
But, during this first third, nothing was easy for the locals who made too many errors in a tough game. At the end of the third, the Montagnards even added a third goal.
At 0-3, the Nantes residents had no choice. We had to show ourselves more conquering in front of the opposing cage. Between the desire to do well and impatience, Captain Custosse‘s teammates were caught while often playing outnumbered. Despite this, 17 seconds from the buzzer, Msumbu reduced the score to revive his team (1-3). During the last act, there was no other choice but to do intense pressing. A numerical superiority play that Mathieu converted with a goal (44e). Coming back to 2-3, the Nantes residents were unable to score the 3rde goal, despite all the efforts made. We must rectify and work on our mistakes,”
