Faced with an Ile-de-France team which had nothing left to play at the end of the championship and perhaps already the lead in its Coupe de France Fédérale final (May 18), Lukas Buchta’s players had everything to gain. Between two teams who responded offensively and went blow for blow, the matchup turned out to be pleasant and open (10-10, 18′).
Despite a lack of presence on the second balls, Lanester played his game and relied on the activity on both sides of the field from captain Bardi. The pivotal work of Touny-Jegado to open spaces paid off in sequences but the two teams definitely did not manage to break away halfway (16-16).
In a similar scenario After returning from the locker room, the Bretons could count on an efficient Pages in his goals.
Lanester displayed good energy and relied, particularly on the counterattack, on the agile Carcreff from the right wing (21-23, 43′). If the efforts paid off when the visitors had a four-goal lead five minutes later, the fear of another disappointment took shape when the locals came back (25-29 then 32-30, 54′).
Decisive dumitrache
In an unbearable end to the match, the outcome was to be sealed in a Dantesque final minute. 30 seconds remaining on the scoreboard and Lanester launched a nice collective sequence. After several precise passes, the untenable Dumitrache unleashed a cross shot which found the net nine seconds from time. The “shot of a season”, which thus offered a precious victory to the Morbihannais (32-33).
“It’s the victory of a group, with real positive energy! I am very proud of my players! We want to fight until the end and today, the concentration displayed and the desire not to give up allows us to win at the wire, where this last quarter of an hour has often cost us dearly this year. We want to finish in the best possible way with a victory at home,” said Lukas Buchta, the Lanesterian coach.
