For the 9th day of National 3, the USSA players finally won at home. A success that feels good. Borg and his men now have four teams in the rearview mirror.
“In our situation nothing was more important than victory!” No tactical or technical analysis in the Aigues-Mortis camp, Sunday November 24, after the second success of the season, the first at home. No analysis but great collegial relief at the locker room door for the president and the technical staff.
The ranking of Pool J of National 3
The Saliniers are quickly in the action with a corner taken by Yacine Belhadj at the far post; Derrar falls in the package for his captain Dumazert who deceives the vigilance of Battu with the outside of the foot (1-0, 8th). On a splendid volley, Fangier is on the verge of doubling the lead but Battu intervenes in two steps (15th).

A red card on each side
The Gardois were present in the duels, the Azuréens taking possession for themselves. But M'Changama leaves his team at ten for a nasty sole on Peyrard's knee (28th). Despite their numerical superiority, the Aigues-Mortais are unable to increase their lead.
The expulsion of Défossé restores the balance (65th), but the stakes (first victory at home on one side, the specter of the first defeat of the season on the other) kills the game.
The two technically unemployed goalkeepers
Cannet-Rocheville monopolizes the ball, in vain. The blue defense is still holding its own and there is not much to chew on. The two goalkeepers, including Louis Laurent, formerly of the OAC and new Acute-Mortaise recruit, are having a comfortable afternoon.
The visitors press without being threatening, and after eight long minutes of added time, Yohan Borg's players, who did not concede a goal (third clean sheet), can raise their arms. Thanks to this success, they move up to tenth place and now have four teams behind them.
