It is very difficult this season to know how the Berri will behave out of its bases. While all the indicators were green before the trip to Bastia-Borgo on January 7, the “blue and red” lost 2 to 0 in Corsica.
This time also, on the lawn of St Brieuc, the Castelroussins could not leave with the three points of the victory. The meeting begins flat out for the Berrichons. On a center back from Vargas on the left side, Jonathan Mexico at the penalty spot resumes. His shot is on target, but the Breton goalkeeper deflects it for a corner with a very nice save (5th). The Castelroussins are perfectly back in the game but fail to keep up.
Walib Nassi (St Brieuc) opens the scoring for St Brieuc (26th)
Little by little, Saint Brieuc is regaining the hair of the beast. The Briochins will even open the mark thanks to Walib Nassi. From the flat of the foot, at the far post, on a cross from the left, he pushes the ball into the back of the net (26th). The Bretons simply let the storm pass and then took control of the match that the Castelroussins had however well in hand.
Definitely, the Berri still experiences so many difficulties outside its bases while she plays an alluring game overall. But that’s not enough: the Bretons lead 1-0 at the break.
Back from the locker room, St Brieuc does not close the game and continues to push to score the second. On his side, Châteauroux often confuses speed with precipitation. Mathieu Chabert makes his first change: Mehdi Beneddine gives way to Kévin Fortuné (66th).
This same Fortuné is on the verge of equalizing on a free kick in the 70th. And once again, when the Berri can come back to score, it is the Bretons who double the bet. With a flat foot, Valentin Lavigne allows his team to lead 2 to 0 (75th). The Bretons will have been more efficient and above all more realistic in front of goal. They impose themselves on their lawn 2 to 0 against a contender for the climb!
