From its beginnings, in the light of the commitment deployed, the confrontation suggests balanced debates. As a symbol, it is on a corner that the Sarthois break the deadlock: coming from the right, it falls at the far post, towards a wait-and-see Simon, who finishes with a header (1-0, 14').
Now in charge, keen to increase his lead, Le Villaret is striving to project himself with speed. Offensive ambition, combined with defensive rigor, which allows the Manceaux to return to the locker room, with a fragile lead. A laudable advantage, far from being definitive. Despite an apparent serenity, the home team remains at the mercy of a twist of fate.
Cardboard and turning
Like this exclusion, pronounced shortly before the hour mark. Author of an irregular intervention in the central circle, Camara received a second warning and was sent off (53'). Weakened, but far from being distressed, the local group relied on dazzling counterattacks. The outcome of an inspired collective movement, carrying the surplus, Regy is served on the right side, at the entrance to the area: he skilfully extends his effort to finish with a powerful shot (2-0, 75'). Ephemeral deliverance.
Launched on the left flank of the area, Moussa restarts his team with a cross shot (2-1, 78'). Cornered by a resurrected opponent, Le Villaret suffered and fell back, inexorably: his goalkeeper then multiplied his prowess to seal the Sarthe victory. Welcome and saving stops, from an unexpected savior.
