Saint-Florent: 1
Rochefort : 2
In very great danger in the ranking, the Saint-Florent reserve received a big chunk this Sunday, December 22. In fact, the Rochefortais are in second place and this is no coincidence.
The most frustrating part of the affair is that we have once again been able to see that the players of Clément Colle and Hugo Chargé can compete with the best in the game. But the count is not there.
The right elements are not enough, you need the conditions to
The fault very often lies in offensive inefficiency. This was again the case against Rochefort, but this time, the Niortais added a lack of concentration. Add to this a violent wind which was important. The Niortais were unable to take advantage of this surprise guest, unlike their opponents, especially at the end of the match.
Two minutes to concede two goals for Saint-Florent
Already, from the second minute, we are still wondering how, on a corner from Caillas, Picart alone at the far post two meters from the goal, could have missed his recovery. It will then be the local goalkeeper Guenet who will perform a feat against De Sousa to avoid the worst (18e), before diverting a shot from Caillas (20e). But on Camara's attempt which he will only push back, he will be able to do nothing about the full force recovery of De Sousa (21e). Worse, he will concede a second goal in the process. Well launched in depth, Saureau will dribble it before pushing the ball into the empty goal (23e).
Guindo's first goal to reduce the score
When five minutes later, Guindo, almost surprised that the ball landed on his foot reduced the score, we said to ourselves that Saint-Florent had done the hard part. Because in the second half, benefiting in turn from the wind, the Niortais will corner their opponent in their camp.
Bobineau, will even find the amount at the end of his breakthrough concluded with a dry strike (54e). In turn, Doré, freshly returned, will send a sort of center shot far too powerful to be on target (80e).
Missed opportunities that could have equalized
The Saint-Florentais got the opportunity to equalize, twice. First on a free kick eighteen meters slightly to the left. The wind for, the opposing goalkeeper poorly placed behind his wall, an offering for Tom Largeau. However, the Niort captain will find a way to strike above (85e) ! Duflou shortly after, in almost the same conditions, would not have any more success (90e). In the end, a defeat that hurts, especially in the position of the Saint-Florentais.

Hot
Hugo Charge (Saint-Florent coach): “I think our performance was rather successful, but we had a gap in the first quarter of an hour which cost us two goals. Behind you have to chase the score. They managed long balls better than us, for us it was more complicated. But the boys' performance is consistent. It's obviously more complicated when you start a match with minus two. The problem is that we don't take points, and halfway through the season we are last. We will have to pull ourselves together in the second part of the season. »
