The series continues for US Saint-Malo. Invincible since the start of the season, the Malouins remained so in Loir-et-Cher, Saturday December 21, by winning a point against Blois.
But to obtain this fifth draw, Gwenaël Corbin's players had to work on terrain unworthy of N2, as the coach was keen to point out: “It’s shameful to play on a pitch like that, there’s no fun, we can’t develop football. »
However, both teams tried. After a first quarter of an hour of observation, Blois took the upper hand and logically opened the scoring through Diaby. Well launched behind the defense, the attacker hooked the goalkeeper and a defender to open the score (1-0, 44').
Corbin: “Tonight, I’m happy with a draw”
The locals were not going to enjoy their advantage for long. From the restart, from a corner, Heinry took advantage of a mix-up in the Blésoise defense to equalize with a header (1-1, 49').
If Blois was going to push in the last ten minutes, Saint-Malo held on. “We had a first half where we were in difficulty everywhere, recalled Corbin. In the second, being closer, we had a strong moment and we came back to the score. Tonight, I'm happy with a draw. Taking a point, given the conditions, is a good thing. And we remain undefeated. »
