For once, Parnasse was not hellish this Friday. It was just ideal. One hundred and seventeen days after its last official home game, 117 days after the farewells of the historic Gallego and Dupuy to their fans, Usam made a real winning return to its home stadium. An ideal start, therefore, from the beginning to the end of the game.

An ideal start

Opening the score by rookie Kaczor after 38 seconds, loss of the ball by Créteil, goal by Rebichon on the wing, interception by Tobie, goal by Konradsson: 3-0 after 2 minutes, the tone was set. And the Green team launched, from one end of the field to the other: rookie Pardin, named man of the match (12 saves), closed the goal; and Sanad, as in his best hours, opened it wide (10 goals). The gap quickly grew and stabilized at +5, +6.

Three and a half years since Nîmes had conceded so few goals at home

15-9 at half-time, it looked like a perfect score. 15-12 in the second half, 30 goals scored in total, 21 conceded, we were not far from the ideal score. Moreover, it had been almost 3 and a half years since Nîmes had conceded so few goals at Parnasse in the championship. Since May 11, 2021 and a 34-20 victory against Chartres.

David Degouy, Usam coach: “They make a lot of effort, including supporting me, and it pays off!”

Enough to satisfy the new coach David Degouy: “I really liked our performance. I liked the commitment and the concentration. Since training resumed, they have made a lot of effort and sacrifices every day, including to support me. Today, it is paying off, and I am very happy. A real team dynamic is being created.” With Pardin taking up space in the cage to drive it forward: "It was a very pleasant first here. We dominated them and showed our state of mind.”

A good omen while waiting for the next home game (before that, there will still be a trip to Dunkirk next Friday), Sunday October 6 at 5pm against Nantes. There, to create the feat, we will need both an ideal and infernal Parnasse.

The worst part of the evening: in the 54th minute, Abdelhak took a header from a Cristolien who had just shot. Verdict: broken nose. I subscribe to read the rest
