The Dungeon room vibrated last night. The herbretais public pushed their team, especially in the last minutes of a panting and very close match. It was 13-13 at the break. Neither team had managed to take a significant advantage. Karelle Herbreteau on the Herbret side and Roxane Manini at La Roche had made the powder speak, with 10 goals each.
“We stumbled
on their guardian “
A goal from Lallemand three minutes from the gong gave a short lead to the Herbretaises, who would defend this slim advantage by fighting on all the balls. Manini’s last shot flew into the clouds and the Dungeon could party. “In a derby, the victory goes to the team which most wants to win and which is rigorous. We had largely lost the first leg at La Roche (21-27) because we weren’t ready and we had to prove to our supporters that we weren’t at the top by chance ”, analysis Ilias Nagnonhou, the coach of Les Herbiers.
He explains the timid departure of his team by the imposed cut: “Our match in San Sebastian was postponed last weekend because there were 5 cases of Covid in the opposing team. Our first half was complicated. We had not played for 15 days and the loss at home against Saint-Nazaire. La Roche played on Saturday and it showed on the pitch. Fortunately, we regained our rhythm in the second half. “
On the Yonnais side, Ophélie Charbonnier was expecting a difficult match: “We won the first leg with a fairly large score. We knew that the Les Herbiers team was waiting for us and was motivated to win. They awaited us in large spaces. We ran into their guardian. We found our finishing problems. My team is young and needs to get tough. It’s the kind of game where girls learn, against an experienced opponent. “
