It was a meeting of distressing technical poverty which was offered to the Cévennes public this Saturday evening with a final victory for the visitors from Andrézieux (0-1). The first period is insipid with two defensive blocks positioned very low and midfield players retreating very quickly to prevent the supply of balls to the opposing attackers. We had to wait until the 18th minute to witness Bétra's first shot, which was followed in the exercise by his captain Djabou with a free kick (29th). The Ligeriens stand out only by multiplying the small infractions intended to delay or even stop the progress of the Gard. The visitors showed themselves to be the most efficient in the duels and the break was reached with a scoreless score.

As soon as play resumed, the visitors showed themselves in a better light with a reflex save from Moreau (47th), which prevents Andrézieux from taking the advantage, just before a tumble from Correa relayed by Bétra is the first opportunity of the second act (52nd).

Waited for by an impatient audience, the awakening of the Alesians is slow in coming. Only a more frequent approach to the opposing cages can demonstrate their desire to do well, but without percussion. Little by little the Alésiens manage to carry the danger into the opposing area, but on a well-executed counterattack, Andrézieux finds the fault with a sudden shot from Moustaid (0-1, 65th).

A quadruple change by the Alesian coach will hardly bring any improvement, only a free kick from Franco full axis forcing the Andrézieux goalkeeper to come out with fists (75th). Baptiste will then manage to find Bétra two meters from the line, but the latter will see his ball end up in a corner (78th). The visitors will be able to maintain their advantage until the end while the nerves of some will break at the end.

With this defeat the OAC remains penultimate, seven points behind ninth place. The club's communications officer informed us that no one would appear before the press after the match.
