US Orléans conceded their ninth defeat of the season this Friday at the Stade de la Source during the 30th day of National against Châteauroux. A 2-1 loss in the derby of the Center – Val de Loire conceded in the last moments. Listen again with comments from France Bleu Orléans.
After the turnarounds at Avranches and against Le Mans, theUS Orleans suffered more or less what she did to some of these adversaries, this Friday at source stage. The neighbors of the Berrichonne of Chateauroux punished the Loiretans in the last moments of this 30th day of National, with a new achievement (the 18th) of the top scorer in the championship, Thomas Faucet in the 91st minute of play. A victory that condemns the USO to a place in the soft underbelly, while the Castelroussins are still within gunshot of the podium.
They are, moreover, the men of Mathieu Chabert who opened the scoring, on a nice pivot shot from the young and excellent Sirine Doucoure (19′), but less than five minutes later, Esteban Lepaul scored his seventh goal of the season (23′). The striker trained in Lyon took over a corner from the near post Loic Goujon. Slightly deflected, the ball deceived the vigilance of Paul Delecroix. The Orleans striker was even close to putting his team ahead at the end of the first half. His head has ended on the bar after a well-worked center ofHicham Benkaid.
An opportunity and a goal for Robinet
In a less exciting second half, the USO had some opportunitiesespecially on a long shot from Liamine Mokdad or on a clever lob ofHicham Benkaid, which grazed the crossbar. But the Berrichons finally snatched victory on one of their only big chances in the second half. The first by Thomas Robinet (91′).
A cruel scenario, to be listened to again in the live conditionswith comments by France Blue Orleans.
