For not having put enough defensive intensity on the Altosecan snipers Legat and Ricard (5/6 beyond 6.75 meters), the Vitreans were first kept at a distance (16-9, 5 ‘). Fortunately for them, coming off the bench Burrell allowed them to reverse the trend (19-21, 10’).
Tristan Pothion in the oven and at the mill
An improvement that did not last. Much too permissive in the second act, the Bretilliens saw the Parisian suburbanites move away over the minutes (35-30, 15 ‘). Things were to remain as they were in the third act. A moment behind by 20 lengths (63-43, 28′), Aurore came back at the end, thanks to Pothion and Béquignon (66-51, 30’). The ultimate revival was that of the Breton revolt.
Fabien Calvez: “We got back into the game in the second half but it was too late”
Slowly but surely, the Greens erased the deficit. Pothion kept the flame going well (77-74, 39′), but Legat delivered the necessary shot (78-74, 39′). That of Jubenot only heightened the regrets (78-75). “We didn’t have the right first half. We conceded 47 points because we didn’t defend hard enough, confides Fabien Calvez, the coach of Aurore. This allowed Rueil to gain confidence and shoot us from afar. We got back into the game in the second half but it was too late! »
