The Olympians conceded their third consecutive defeat in the championship, their fourth in all competitions. “In the first half, we controlled, had counter balls, situations to finish, but we are shycommented Jean-Louis Gasset after the meeting. In the second half, we gave them the match. Only gifts. Today we were very bad.”
