By taking the point of a draw with the Pau reserve, Bayonne confirms its excellent form and has not lost since the first day of the championship, with another reserve, in Toulouse (2-0). In this departmental derby, it is the Bayonnais who take control of the game in the first period and who create the first chances. First through La Prévotte, whose recovery outside the area caused a mess in which Fall was visibly the victim of a foul by the Pau goalkeeper (12th); the referee does not flinch. Giuntini, well launched in the axis, presents himself in front of the opposing goal and tries to target Sané who will finally block his shot (14th).
We therefore understand that Rowing did not come to make up the numbers against the reserves of a Ligue 2 club that they will face next week and that they had plenty of time to observe during the match played. a few hours earlier against Paris FC in the same venue. They will therefore very logically open the score at the end of the first quarter of an hour when Giuntini sends a cross on the left side to Sacha Inquel who enters the area and will open the score with a superb shot which leaves no chance for the Palois goalkeeper (0-1, 15th).
Bayonne rate le break
Bayonne may have done the hardest part but Pau remains dangerous by operating on the counterattack, and Portets is decisive against Njoh alone at six meters to clear his point-blank shot for a corner (26th). A first free warning which pushes Bayonne to look for the break, especially when from a tight angle, Nana Gassa Gonga forces Paradowski to make the necessary save with a point-blank shot (41st).
Charles Laprévotte’s teammates were unable to score this second goal and were joined in the last second of stoppage time when Lebouath crossed to the back post for Samoilov who took the flat foot (45th + 4) . Everything has to be done again in a second half where the two teams will continue at the same pace without creating any big scoring opportunities. Finally, a good point to take against a very playful opponent who keeps the Rowing players in the top 4 with a match late.
The reaction
Alain Pochat, Bayonne coach: “It’s a good point to take even if we may regret having taken this goal just before the break from a situation that we had worked on. It wasn’t easy to play on an artificial pitch but we were able to adapt against a team with some good young players. We remain undefeated and it’s always good to be at this stage of the season. »
