Nîmes wins its fourth success of the season, all in the Costières stadium, the Crocos breathe a little at the bottom of the table. Nîmes also wins its 171st game in Costières in 376 Ligue 2 games. Benoit Poulain, the captain and above all the player who has played the most games in Costières (130) is necessarily happy after this last victory in this enclosure inaugurated on February 15 1989 : “There was emotion on entering the field, it was, I think, more due to the fact that the stadium was full and that it was really nice to see this stadium like this for the last time rather than this story of the last match at Costières. I didn’t have any particular nostalgia at the end of the match. It was also necessary, as captain, that I bring the team to the best of this meeting, try to bring back the 3 points of the victory. I was really focused on that and I didn’t have too much time to give way to feelings. I had a little emotion when I entered the field on the song “Carmen” and saw all this audience. know that in a few years, there will surely be more nostalgia. I am already happy and happy to finish with a victory in this stadium! I know that it is important. The fans did not come to see a sad match. They will leave with good memories!
