Football: the flame rekindled in Sète and a thorn in the side of the Frontignanais

L’Asfac a été accroché sur sa pelouse, face à Pibrac. MIDI LIBRE – E.R.

The accession of SC Sète to R2 is now official, a contract fulfilled with a fourteenth victory this Saturday, May 4. Asfac, on the other hand, is missing an opportunity to ensure maintenance in R1.

Three days before the end of the championship, Asfac had an opportunity to move away from a direct rival by four points. We knew the favorable schedule, the results recorded since February 24, the date of the last defeat, prove it.

Lack of inspiration

This final in Olympic form corresponds in particular to the performance of Florian Moureaux. Top scorer in the group, his newfound efficiency has greatly contributed to the team's return to a ranking range more in line with its qualities. Yes, but on Saturday, a goal from the "goléador" was not enough. Despite countless clear chances, notably those of the uninspired Victor Bouzou, the Muscatiers conceded a draw, fortunately without consequences. The results of the day mean that the situation remains the same, four rivals were defeated. By taking a point next Saturday at Seysses-Frouzins, Asfac will ensure its maintenance.

The Sète locomotive maintained its pace

In R3, the Thau derby planned for Mèze could not take place, the fault of unpredictable weather which made the Sesquier lawn impassable. A void which will allow Éric Miramond and his flock to prepare for Saturday's crucial meeting with the Aveyronnais of Saint-Affrique. In Saint-André, Stade Balarucois has given in but remains on the podium.

Finally, the other notable event of the day will satisfy the vast majority of Sète football lovers and Thau fans. We know that the basin needs its historic locomotive. The club was aiming for it, the accession to R2 is now official. With this 14th victory, the "Vert et blanc" have fulfilled their contract. The Atlas can no longer modify the outcome of the championship. A double from Segura in the first period and a consolidation of the score by Soraes in the second offer a place at the top of the group, synonymous with accession to R2.
