This is a good point, no doubt. This Friday evening, for the first day of National, US Orléans pocketed a point on the lawn of Concarneau after their draw (1-1). The Loiretans had a good first half before suffering in the second act. An encouraging introduction before facing AS Nancy-Lorraine on Friday August 19 at La Source.
man of the match
For his return to Concarneau, only a few months after leaving the club, Vincent Viot, the neo-porter from Orleans, released the match that was expected of him. In the second half, he repelled a strike from Rabillard (48′) before making stoppage of the match in added time on a header from Gboho (90’+3) which took the direction of the skylight. He can’t do anything about Boutrah’s goal (45’+2).
sentence of the day
“When you can’t win, you have to know not to lose.” The words of coach Xavier Collin after the match, rather satisfied to see his team bring back a point from this complicated trip to Concarneau. After a first period where Orléans could have doubled the lead, USO forwards didn’t have much to eat after halftime.
The number of the day
When zero equals one. Orleans scored a goal on the scoreboard on Friday, with no USO player scoring. In the 19th minute of play, Goujon sent a cross to Dabasse, who found the post but the ball bounces behind the back of the Breton goalkeeper Pattier, before returning to the back of the net.
