There are victories that we expect more than others. And Saturday evening at the Petit Palais, the final buzzer was synonymous with relief for the Eagles. Jumps of joy and hugs, Alberto Arteaga, the coach, struggles to find his words: “I'm taking a thorn jacket off my back.” Before recovering. “First victory at home, for me, it’s a good feeling,” he laughs, “it takes a weight off me.” And for good reason, faced with the promoted and leader, the UJS took off, not without some turbulence.
Faced with a very good northern formation which, as expected, defended aggressively, the UJS was able to create chances, but also defended well during the first ten minutes. Then came this touch, and this combination concluded by Bertuola for the opening score. A goal which completely changed the appearance of the match since the UJS then suffered, not going far from the equalizer on several occasions.
“Bertuola, that reassures him”
We felt it coming, Avion equalized after returning from the locker room (24th). A fierce fight then began, with Toulouse attacking one after another, repelled by the uprights (27, 29) or by Quiles, heroic in his goals. Just when we thought they had missed their chance, Bertuola shook the net, 2-1 (30th)! “Bertuola, that reassures him. He comes from another country, the club is betting a lot on him, so we are happy,” exults his coach.
Unlike the first half, the Eagles did not slow down and continued, in vain. Then the last seconds and Avion's power-play showed up. “I remembered the equalizer we conceded against KB. I said no, not yet… But we held on very well,” congratulates Arteaga. A success which allows Toulouse to remain in the upper part of the ranking, in contact with the play-offs.
