Plougastel-Daoulas, resident of Regional 1, therefore took his revenge this Sunday at the Charles-Pinson stadium, in Carhaix (Finistère) by eliminating Jimmy Lesneiwski's men 1-0.
Deprived of several starters, injured, suspended or absent, Poher's team showed signs of feverishness, particularly on the sides of its defense. But once again, the Carhaisian attackers also faltered in finishing. While the visitors controlled the match, the game became balanced after the expulsion of their playmaker. Despite this handicap, they nevertheless created the best opportunities but they showed clumsiness in the last gesture. The local players were not left out, offering the numerous spectators a quality first period.
After the break, Clément Doucen, alone at six meters, missed the inevitable and on the counter-attack, the visitors opened the score. Infuriating. The Poher guys, from then on, tried to catch up but experienced real difficulties against this low block of Plougastel-Daoulas who found in his goalkeeper a last impassable rampart.
Quentin Le Roux had the equalizer in the final moments but his shot was saved beautifully by this graceful goalkeeper.
“The result is frustrating”
“Despite the many absentees, we were keen to continue the adventure in the Coupe de Bretagne, analyzes coach Jimmy Lesneiwski. The result is frustrating because given the team's very good performance, we would have deserved to pass in my opinion. The opponent's passage to 10 allowed us to turn the possession of the ball in our favor. Unfortunately, Plougastel was able to be very efficient unlike us. It's a shame, but the clear state of mind was once again up to par. Faced with a double confrontation against the same opponent from Regional 1, I am satisfied with the copies returned. We must now concentrate on the last three championship matches before the break” he concludes.
