Almost a month ago, Caen took on Cholet (1-0). It was therefore the vengeful Dogs who started the game. The Choletais had control over the puck, the instructions seemed simple: throw constantly (16 throws against 9). But Caen did not flinch, thanks to an excellent Quemener, who left his cage clean at the end of the first third (0-0, 20'). His Cholet counterpart, Grametbauer, stood up to him in the second half, while the Dogs took on water.
There was a match in the match, the goalkeepers were magnificent (0-0 40'). This was confirmed in the third half, the two teams did not give up. The penalties fell but all the goal attempts were repelled by the goalkeepers (0-0, 60').
“An intense match on both sides”
We had to wait for extra time and, finally, an opening in Quemener's net, for Bastille to score the goal of deliverance for the Dogs (1-0, 63').
A result which allows Cholet to string together two consecutive victories, which has not happened for ten matches. “It’s like our season, very good passages and passages that are a little bit empty, explained Julien Pihant, Cholet’s coach. It was an intense match on both sides, with great saves from the goalkeepers. The coin ended up falling on our side, I'm happy to have had some young players who had a very good match. We're ending the year in a good way. »
For his part, Jaroslav Prosvic, the coach of the Caen Drakkars, acknowledges the defeat: “It was another very close match against Cholet, we worked well but we didn't manage to score. »
