The ASNL received this Monday evening at Marcel Picot, the formation of Sedan, as part of the end of the 12th day of the National. Despite the exclusion at half an hour of play, from Sedan, Fleurier, the Nancy lacked inspiration to make the difference and conceded the point of the draw, 0-0. If at ranking
the ASNL is tenth, three points behind the second, Versailles, Martigues and Dunkirk, it is also two lengths from the red zone.

Shortcomings and a valiant adversary
After its last two failed matches, in the Coupe de France and in the league, in Villefranche, the ASNL had to react. Beyond the result, the followers expected a positive attitude in the state of mind and in the game deployed. Unfortunately, the copy returned by Albert Cartier’s men doesn’t tick all the boxes.
If in the will, the team was faithful to its principles, in the game, the shortcomings were once again too numerous to win. Short of imagination, and evolving at the same pace, the ASNL has not given itself the means to bend its opponent. Imprecise in the last gesture, the opportunities were too rare.
The ASNL is progressing in slow motion, it once again leaves points on the way while the results of the weekend were favorable. By dint of wasting opportunities, the ASNL is playing with fire. It offers no guarantee for the time being and seems very far from a team capable of aiming for accession at the end of the season.
