National 2: Le Puy Foot gives in at the end of the game to Saint-Raphaël and loses first place

It was a day of celebration in Saint-Raphaël, this Saturday evening, with the inauguration of the Louis-Hon stadium and free entries. On this new synthetic, the Ponots have long thought they could spoil the festivities, after opening the score. But the locals finally snatched a draw with a goal at the very end of the game.

It was also a special day for Marvin Adelaide, in the Ponot clan. The striker celebrated his 28th birthday and celebrated this anniversary in a very beautiful way. It was he who opened the scoring in a lively first period on both sides of the field. At the half-hour mark, Adelaide combined perfectly in a one-two, with Diebold, before finishing with a dive ball (30th, 0-1). His eighth league goal put the Vellaves in command before the break.

Le Puy loses first place

In the second act, Stéphane Dief’s men held on for a long time. But they conceded the equalizer at the start of added time, with a goal from Naël Jaby on a well-wound shot from outside the area (90th + 3, 1-1).

Puy Foot is therefore not fully relaunching, a week after its defeat in Angoulême. It’s Grasse who takes the opportunity to steal first place, two lengths ahead. In the championship, the Ponots remain in three matches without success. They will try to get back on the path to victory next Saturday, with the reception of Montpellier in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
