The defeat against Thouars (0-3), which comes after the slap received against FC Nueillaubiers (7-1), is worrying for ES La Rochelle. Because the comparison with the Deux-Sévriens does not bode well. From the start of the match, the visitors demonstrated remarkable offensive energy and displayed strong commitment in each action. The offensive duo Camara – N'Diaye caused misery for the La Rochelle defenders. A shot from the first named passed above the maritime cage (4th), then he ideally served his friend, whose shot flew away (6th).
It is therefore quite logical that Thouars would open the scoring. Camara was on the receiving end of a long throw-in, he hit in a pivot and deceived Mputu Mawete (0-1, 33rd). The excellent N'Diaye took part in the offensive spectacle. He doubled the stake following an individual action of great beauty. 40 meters from the goal, he controlled the ball, set off alone towards the goal, resisted the return of the defenders and delivered an unstoppable cross strike (0-2, 38th).
6 defeats in 12 matches
On the La Rochelle side, the start of the match lacked intensity and we had to rely on the actions of Samaké. But the young attacker was too isolated to unbalance the opposing defense. Graffin's teammates will still be more offensive and determined after the break. Several crosses passed in front of the Deux-Sévrien goal, but no one to conclude the actions. The visitors managed the match, however, being slow to make the difference on several poorly concluded counter-attacks.
They will wait for added time to score the 3rd goal. The inevitable N'Diaye was at the far post receiving a long cross and scored a double without opposition (0-3, 90th + 2). Mid-championship, La Rochelle lost half of the matches (10th, 4 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses).
