That’s district.
Things happened this Sunday, in this 32e of the Coupe Gard-Lozère final, in the Occitanie league, which saw the Nîmes Chemin Bas (R2) win against FC Canabier (D2)… after a score of 2-2 and a session of 31 penalties, ended with a score of 15 penalties to 16! If the district residents, who were the hosts, can come out of the cup with their heads held high after having come close to qualifying against a team playing three levels above them, it is not this almost feat which has attracted attention, but instead the completely lunar course of the meeting.
Referee without rusks, chambering and fight
To understand it, back to the match. Twice, it was the outsiders FC Canabier who opened the scoring (2e et 70e) and who are quickly caught up by the favorite Nîmes (19e et 78e). A surprisingly close match, marked by a grotesque first play shortly before the end of the first period. By wanting to issue his first warning of the match in the 44the minute, the referee of the match simply realized that he had forgotten his cardsaccording to the story drawn up by our colleagues from Free Midday.
Reduced to ten after an exclusion at the very end of the match, FC Canabier managed to take the residents of Regional 2 into a completely epic penis session. After the 22 players succeeded in their attempt, the locals thought they could create the feat with their goalkeeper’s save at 12-11… but this one didn’t have his feet on the line. From the false explosion of joy will come disillusionment.
The two teams finally clashed, when FC Canabier missed their sixteenth shot on goal, leading to a disagreement between the shooter and the Nîmes goalkeeper, then a fight. Two exclusions later and the time for tempers to calm down, the last shooter from Nîmes then gave victory to the favorites.
Regrettable violence, but a sporting scenario that makes us love handball football even more.
