Stéphane Lamant had set the objective of pleasing the public at Clos Gastel for this last match of the year. This request was heard since the first period was totally to the advantage of the locals. From the fourth minute, Valla was unable to regain a goal ball.

Then it was Jacquemin's turn to miss the opener, much to the chagrin of his coach: “We have three good situations and we say to ourselves that we are out of luck. The only thing for us is that the ball is always a meter too far behind, the goalkeeper pulls out all the stops… At 11 against 11, we were off to a very good start.”

Because the turning point of the match took place in the 30e minute. While trying to make up for a bad restart, Coiffic received a direct red for a dangerous tackle. “At 10 against 11, we fought well and we still have chances. » The biggest came at 90e. On a free kick deflected by the wall, three Dinannais throw themselves without ever being able to deflect the ball. It is then up to Locminé to have his match ball. On a superb cross, Danso sees his ball lick the right post of a frozen Nicolas Pistol.
This goalless draw rather satisfied the visiting coach, Jacques Pichard: “We wanted to continue the series of three games without defeat and it’s done. Taking a point in Dinan is always complicated so that’s good. » On the match, the score seems normal to him: “We each had half time. Except that in the first Dinan had clear chances while we were sterile. We have to settle for that because we didn't deserve better. »
On the Dinannais side, this match will serve: “If we want to maintain ourselves, we must accept being less beautiful. At 11 against 11, it's a match we have to win. Now, the outward phase is not yet over, we will spend the holidays outside the red zone so we will be able to rest peacefully before setting off again. »
