The disappointment was palpable at the end of the match when Roch Gérard spoke of his flock’s match: “We deserved nothing more than this draw which is logical. We did not deliver a good performance today.”
The words are harsh because Pont-à-Celles/Buzet certainly did not deliver their worst match of the season. The PàCmen got into their match well and had a few timid opportunities but were punished on Loyers’ first opportunity, leaving too much space for the visiting players in the rectangle. But the PàC has resources and Dehont is in the right place to equalize after a loose recovery from Dufer. Alan Francart then puts his colors in charge, rewarding a good first period on his part.
A lack of maturity of the PàC
“However, we led by a miracle and, even so, we lacked the gumption to hold on to the result”adds Roch Gérard. Four minutes after returning from the locker room, Longin put Loyers back in the game. The two teams try to score this little goal and the PàC finally finds the net in the 84th and thinks to give the victory to the Pacmen. But Loyers also has resources and following a poor recovery from Donovan Francart, the PàCmen block is completely unbalanced, Loyers’ reconversion is rapid and Bakjraktari has a great time allowing Loyers to leave with a deserved point of rue Notre-Dame des Grâces. A draw that doesn’t help anyone in the standings.
“In our situation we always see the glass half empty and half fullestimates Jean-François Beguin, the coach of Loyers. We came for victory but the boys had the mental resources to come back twice. We will have to continue against Perwez.”
