After his victory in Carcassonne, Albi confirmed against Saint-Gaudens (38-6), during the 11th day of Super XIII.
Less than five minutes of play and Jayson Goffin opened the scoring with power, well served by Tony Gigot. The decisive passer transforms, 6-0. New decisive pass for the Albigensian half on a skipped pass which found Clément Tailhades. The Albi center resists several tackles to score his team's second try, 10-0.
New attack from the Tigers and new try. Tony Gigot serves Maxime Rostang who recovers a little kick for himself, magnificent. Already 16-0 after a quarter of an hour of play. The Bears finally react thanks to Reid Alchin who finds the fault in the Albigensian defense. Christopher Hellec, back in his old garden, undergoes the transformation (16-6).
The end of the first period is to the advantage of Albi who scores three new tries. It is first Maxime Rostang who is at the conclusion of the beautiful collective action to offer himself a double (20-6). Then Tony Gigot brings out his special with a precise kick for Julien Cancé who just has to flatten (24-6). And finally, following a new play at the foot of Tony Gigot, Maxime Rostang shows his footballing talents by taking the ball to his feet twice before flattening and scoring his third personal try. 30-6 at halftime for Albi at the end of a first half largely controlled by the Tigers.
Albi widens the gap
After a scrum, Albi plays his game on the left and Romain Franco gives an offering to Théo Guinguet who scores in the corner, 34-6. The minutes pass and the score does not change on an increasingly damaged pitch. A quarter of an hour from the end, the match was stopped for several minutes after the knockout of Mr. Poumes who was taken out on a stretcher. While trying to position himself, the central referee hit Maxime Puech's shoulder with his head. Hoping it's not too serious.
Ten minutes from the end, Maxime Rostang followed his blocked kick and scored a quadruple after a race of almost 60 meters! 38-6 for Albi. This is the final score here in Mazicou. With this fourth consecutive victory, the Tarnais end the year in second place in the Super XIII behind Carcassonne.
