Blois Foot 41: 1
Saint-Malo: 1
Facing an undefeated team and remaining on a series of 7 victories, Blois knew that the task would be difficult for this last match of the year.
By winning the draw, Blois showed that he could stand up to the big guys in the championship. But the appearance of the match, with several clear chances and an equalizer against his side, leaves one with regrets.
If not much happened during the first quarter of an hour, the rest gave rise to a rather lively encounter.
Reulier's strike on a cross from Chapelle would have deserved a better fate (17e) while that of Diaby (31e) lacked power.
Playing high and recovering numerous balls, Blois Foot posed serious problems for the leader who created very few situations.
It is therefore logical that Blois Foot would find the opening: on a reversal of Reulier, Diaby, very leggy, overtook his defender and, after two hooks, opened the score (1-0, 44e). Logic.
A mistake paid for in cash
With this advantage, Blois Foot resumed the second act calmly. This wasn't going to last. On a Malouin corner, Lemaitre was too short on his exit and the ball returned to the feet of a defender who, by wanting to clear, found a teammate who could not avoid the own goal.
Touched, Blois Foot would nevertheless react: the volleys of Reulier (57e) then Lopez (82e) came up against an excellent Saint-Malo goalkeeper.
On arrival, a frustrating draw for Blois Foot who will now be cut before a return to business on January 11.
