All smiles, the attacking midfielder from Stade Poitevin, Jeremy Bekhechi, shared his happiness at the end of the meeting with his children and his partners on the very damaged Michel-Amand pitch. Jostled in the first period, on the verge of breaking when Vendéen Berlin saw his shot crash into Louis' left post (30e), the Poitevins were able to resist and wait to take the advantage in the second half in order to win against Poiré-sur-Vie (2-0).
Lacking offensive inspiration in the first part of the match, the Stadistes owe their salvation to this fox goal from Bekhechi's surfaces after returning from the locker room (46e). On a corner from Kibundu, the Poitevin midfielder surprised the Vendée defense at the far post. Positioned on the left side at the start of the match, he had difficulty in this first period: “ I'm on a strong footing to return but it's a position that I'm discovering and I need to improve. »
“Replenish your energy”
In front of goal, a single opportunity was enough for him to break the deadlock. Tired but happy, the Poitevin scorer expressed relief above all: “ We have an energy-intensive style of play. We arrive at the last match of December, the guys are very tired. We relied a little on our experience. This goal from a set piece freed us, spaces were created and the entrants were able to take advantage of them. It's an important victory before the break, we must now rest and replenish our energy. »
Bekhechi's goal restored confidence to the Poitevins and in the process, it was the young Houmadi who doubled the lead with a personal exploit (61e). Two lightning strikes in this match allowed Poitiers to knock out the Genôts. The end of the match was in complete control and the Poitou defense structured around the sheet metal worker Jaques showed his experience. This sixth victory allows Poitiers to reposition itself third in the standings with 22 points in fourteen matches.
Ideal before taking advantage of the confectioners' break. The coach’s instructions were clear: “ Stop thinking about football, enjoy your loved ones, your family and come back in great shape for the restart. » There is no doubt that the players will be happy to apply this last instruction for 2024.
