Manhandled for a good part of the match, leader Bourges Moulon took advantage of a penalty to take a point in Châtellerault, Saturday evening, during the 7th day of the N3 championship.
On difficult soft ground, Bourges Moulon struggled greatly against Châtellerault. The leader managed to take a rather unexpected point given the nature of the match (1-1). “We had difficulties against this Châtellerault team on alternating current,” admitted Youcef Benghourieb. She caused us a lot of problems. But it wasn't an off day, the boys didn't cheat. »
Vierzon FC wins at Cosne playing with ten players
The Châtelleraudais largely dominated the debates. Apart from Pothin's head slammed by local goalkeeper Brebion (18th), Xavier Renard's teammates, author of decisive saves on several occasions (42nd, 48th, 65th), did not appear dangerous. It took a hand in the area for the incoming Kakolo to equalize (1-1, 70th), responding to Arné's opening goal after a missile from the post (1-0, 21st).
Author of a good comeback, the offensive player was even on the verge of giving victory to his team, but his right-footed attempt, after a corner, passed a few centimeters from the post. Any regrets? “If I’m selfish, I say yes, but it would have been cruel for Châtellerault,” says coach Berruyer. Afterwards, if we had had a hold-up, I wouldn't have said no. »
This point acquired in Vienne caused Moulon to lose its leadership position, after the success of Romorantin at Châteauroux.
