There was no need to be late this Sunday at L'Étrat for the U19 National match between ASSE and Olympique Rovenain. From the start of the match, Helmi Ben Tiba offers a perfect cross to Issam Cheikh forced to try twice to deceive the Marseille goalkeeper guilty of a hand fault (ASSE 1-0 Rovenain, 5e). A few minutes later, the Greens continue their good intentions and drive the point home by Hani Guerroudj (ASSE 2-0 Rovenain, 16e).
After the break, the Greens sealed their victory. Launched by Kaïs Zerga, Issam Cheikh succeeds perfectly in his face to face with the Marseille goalkeeper and therefore offers himself a double and a decisive pass during this meeting (ASSE 3-0 Rovenain, 59th).
Two games from the end of the first leg, the Greens are 5th, three points behind leader Montpellier.
“We built our victory well. The group is growing in maturity, in game choices, in the management of strong and weak moments. We had a pleasant match. It wasn't necessarily an easy match but due to the evolution of the score we made it easy. We managed the weak times well by not conceding a goal. It's a real collective victory with game intentions and finishing! We were realistic on the surfaces.” rejoiced Frédéric Dugand after the meeting.
