It was at the Parsemain stadium in Fos-sur-Mer to preserve a Turcan’s lawn suffering due to the hot weather, that FC Martigues received Sète for its penultimate preparation match. After four unbeaten outings (3 wins and 1 draw, Editor’s note), the men of Grégory Poirier bowed to the resident of N1 (2-1). Visibly blunted for their third meeting in eight days and having to deal with the absence of several senior players (7), the Sang et Or initially had difficulty getting the ball out cleanly. Was punished on a realization of Bouaia (0-1, 21) and another of the former martial Celestine already at the origin of the first goal (0-2, 51).
Even in the physically tough, FCM refused to bow their heads with the freshness of the players coming off the bench. Nleme Oyono also converted a penalty obtained by Orinel the former Sète (1-2, 57). The FCM laid siege to the Hérault camp in the last half hour. However, failing to equalize despite several dangerous situations. A defeat that puts an end to a good series but we will remember the beautiful martégale reaction. Next meeting on Saturday in Nîmes (N3) for the last friendly match before the resumption of the championship and the derby in Marignane-Gignac on August 7.
