It’s a victory that does the greatest good. After giving reasons for hope a few days ago against leader Carcassonne, SO Avignon has finally materialized its performance. Facing the surprising and solidly promoted Villefranche-de-Rouergue (3rd), the “Bisons” won, not without difficulty, at the end of a tough match until the end, marked.
If the success of the SOA is not disputed, the content was above all marked by a lot of technical waste and numerous errors of indiscipline. The three yellow cards in the first period (Sorensen and Sedger for Villefranche, and Arnaud for Avignon) are proof of this choppy meeting where the Vauclusiens (finally) managed to show character.
Baptiste Pourchi's hat-trick
On alternating current since the start of the season and with dry spells lasting around fifteen minutes on average where they suffered several attempts, the management of weak times was better mastered this time. One of the symbols of this renewal is Baptiste Pourchi. Placed at the back against Carcassonne, the young Avignon player once again distinguished himself by carrying his team thanks to a hat-trick which made it possible to sign a second victory in the championship, and above all the first in his lair of the Parc des sports d' Avignon.
