Pro D2: quickly reduced to numerical inferiority, SU Agen overthrows Biarritz Olympique in a totally crazy match

Six days after the defeat against Provence (10-17), the SUA promised to react. He kept his promise. From the start. On a penalty recovered, Billy Searle found a touch within 22 meters. After a good maul from the forwards, the ball is cleared.

Launched in the interval, Loris Tolot resists the return of the defense to flatten a first hand-made try (5-0, 3rd). But the reaction from Biarritz was immediate, and took place in a completely different style. In strength. After several periods of level play, Piula Fa'asalele pierces the Agen defense (5-7, 8th).

The SUA reduced to fourteen

Everything has to be redone in a rhythmic and pleasant encounter. Each formation responds to each other tit for tat. Back in the opposing camp, the SUA is precise. Dorian Bellot takes advantage of the advance to sneak around the edge of the group and put his people back in front.

At least, that's what we thought. The try is refused on video for a foul by Iban Etcheverry (15th). The fight continues. And it is the turn of the Biarrots to counter. Mathieu Acebes shifts Yohan Tapie to his wing.

Overflowing, the winger pushes the ball at his feet and takes advantage of the favorable rebound to make a first break (5-14, 21st). The disaster scenario is emerging.

Even more so after the red card inflicted on Hans Lombard-Buret, guilty of having cleared Yohan Beheregaray in a virulent manner (23rd). On the following action, the BO, through Retière, on a well-negotiated short side, again found the fault (5-19, 26th).

At that moment, we don't see how Sporting can come back. But yet, he will do it. As a good captain, Peyo Muscarditz shows the way forward, by infiltrating a group (12-19, 28th).

The end of the first period was electric, with a referee not in control of the match. Etcheverry and Beheregaray pay the price (39th). At thirteen, Sporting pushes the Basques. Bellot plays the short side well, and shifts Tolot to put the Agenais in the lead in the locker room (26-19, 40th).

A SUA unleashed

Agen starts the second half like the first. Quickly, Sporting found themselves five meters from the goal, but inexplicably lost the ball. On the counter, Biarritz is not far from equalizing (45th).

A big scare not refreshing by a transformed SUA. Logically, Searle materializes the domination of his team twice (32-19, 57th).

And the score could even be more impressive, as the Agenais proved irresistible, slamming a formidable 27-0 while being outnumbered. And even a 34-0!

Because, after a well-worked launch, Kolinio Ramoka explodes everything in his path to ignite a suddenly heated Armandie (39-19, 62nd).

The meeting, so rhythmic, took place without a scrum for half an hour, and Florent Guion only entered at the hour mark. Despite a more difficult end to the match, the Agenais, heroic until the end, held on to a success which should give them balm in their hearts.
