Faced with a record crowd, the locals quickly found themselves asphyxiated by the athletically superior and more skillful Ponots with the ball. The illusion lasts about twenty minutes. Before Sackho concludes a nice combination (0-1, 20th). And bang on the beak, three minutes later, Diebold worsens the score for the visitors (0-2, 23rd). Which already took an option on victory halfway through the first period.
It must be said that they wander around a defense that is often overwhelmed, especially on the right side.
The rest is up to par in the other areas of the game. The Agathois starting eleven did not rise to the level of the challenge. He is logically ahead at the break by arithmetic, and not only that.
Little Agathois highlight
Coming out of the locker room, Agde shows more energy. Diarra gets an opportunity to come back, but Carvalho watches. On the other hand, in continuity, the visitors obtain a penalty. Pays takes justice into its own hands and gives its team the 3-0 (0-3, 50th). Aware that all that's left for his team to do is go all out, Reboul makes several changes. These paid off, but only for a few minutes, during the Agathois highlight, concluded by a magnificent volley from Cornélie which saved the honor of his team (1-3, 75th).
Behind that, at the very end of the game, Ghalem, originally from Poussan and former Agde player, used his trigger to place an unstoppable header into the goal kept this time by Ligali (1-4, 87th). Anecdotally, Zogba added a fifth goal, also with a header, at the end of the allotted time (1-5, 90th). The RCOA must now learn the lessons of its elimination and re-mobilize in the championship. On the program before the break: trip to Rousset and reception of Ardziv.
