As they headed towards their fifth victory of the season, the third away, this Friday evening during the 14th day of Ligue 2, the Ruthenois were caught at the last second in Normandy, 3-3! A new match with twists and turns for those who go 11th before the Saturday matches.
In the first period, the Ruthenois initially suffered from the start. In any case, it was rather against the flow of play that Ibrahima Baldé took advantage of a huge Caen blunder, with a back pass ultimately directly into his feet which he, in two steps, transformed into a goal. We were playing the 13th minute.
The start of a festival, as often with Rodez. Because if the heart of this first half did not see the nets shake, the end of the period was eventful. First with a scare for the Aveyronnais and Mendy's post in the 45th! A twist of fate coupled, in the same minute, with a second Ruthenian goal at the other end of the field. Indeed, with a strike from the left at the entrance to the area, it was Mohamed Bouchouari who, like Baldé, scored his fourth goal of the season!
Baldé and Bouchouari power four, Nkada’s roller coaster!
Except that the Caennais, suddenly virtually relegated, reacted in added time to swing to 1-2 at the break, thanks to a goal from Thomas. Worse for the Aveyronnais, in the 52nd minute, it was Brahimi who equalized with a shot at the near post at the entrance to the area.
But these Ruthenians are definitely incredible. And just two minutes later, it was the best house trigger, Timothé Nkada, who gave his team the lead again, thanks to his eighth goal in 13 matches!
An evening full of twists and turns, but also frustrating for the blood and gold supporters remaining in Aveyron. Because if the match was interrupted for a while in the 25th because of smoke bombs thrown into Lionel Mpasi's area; Bein Sports, the official broadcaster, was unable to broadcast a very large part of the match, and in particular four of the six goals scored.
Worse, the evening which was heading towards a fifth success and a rise to 10th place was finally concluded with a 3-3 draw, when at the very last second of five minutes of added time, a corner conceded by Laurent allowed Meddah, in two stages, to equalize.
Terrible for Didier Santini's gang, who despite everything stretched their invincibility in Ligue 2 to seven matches. Next outing in 15 days at Paul-Lignon, opposite Pau.
