The Girondins are suffocated. They loosen the hug little by little. Petat is alert to the recovery, inside the foot, from Vincent (18th) and then notices an off-target effort from player No. 9 Karaz (27th). In the reboot, Hugo Betat has fun with it. He sends a long pass to his winger Gouveia, who goes for the goal but is caught: penalty kick. Broca, who has just returned, takes the penalty (3-0, min. 39). The lively young men (Gouveia, Lartigue, Do Carmo) blew away the visitors’ athletic defence.
The second half is poorer and less exciting. Betat concedes a goal, but it is rejected due to offside (minute 55). It’s wide on a narrow angle effort from Manu (60).
The meeting is now balanced. Gouveia is in good form, he brings down his defender on the left side, shoots down the middle and then finishes the ball with a sharp inside kick with his right foot, and Ratrick (4-0, 68) is beaten.
The game becomes more difficult, and a quarrel occurs (85). Ratrick parries a final shot from the excellent Lartigue (87′) for a corner kick. Bazas, who had been undefeated until then, returned to the Gironde with a heavy defeat. The new coach of the Greens, Jérôme Launay, returns to the dressing room with a big smile and can breathe: “A successful match, finally!”.
