When nothing goes right. Pessac not only lost its match against Clermont (28-20) on Saturday, but also its young goalkeeper Alix Tignon who was seriously injured in the ankle. A bad evening at all levels for Marc Hoareau’s players who lacked regularity in their production and precision in finishing. In a real resumption match after more than a month and a half without competition, the Pessacaises fired first after five minutes which set the tone for a meeting marked by ups and downs, a lot of technical waste in the transmissions and misses in the duel between the shooter and the goalkeeper. A quarter of an hour into the game, Pessac is still in contact (4-4), but his too many errors end up turning against him against an Auvergne team that doesn’t really shine with the care it takes in its possessions. . On the other hand, the locals were more realistic at the finish and caused the first gap (15-9).
Not dangerous enough
In the meantime, Helene Falcon took over from Alix Tignon. The young goalkeeper actually left the field after an unsteady support (24th). Affected in the ankle, she had to undergo additional examinations, but the first diagnosis was not very reassuring concerning her malleolus. A bad turn of fate for Pessac who clings to the return from the locker room, exploiting his defensive aggressiveness well to express himself in a large space. Enough to put slight pressure on the Volcaniques (18-15, 43rd), without changing the appearance of the debates. Pessac experienced difficulties in the last quarter of an hour where Clermont found rhythm and more quality of play. Tiphaine Olivar’s teammates lost (28-20), but they lost a little more than a simple match.
