The Saliniers fought hard to hold on to the goal scored in the 33rd minute until the end. At the end of the 11th day of National, they are no longer relegated.

Played in conditions made difficult by the wind, Sunday December 15, this match between two teams with diametrically opposed interests was especially worth it for its final indecision and the victory of a Gard team admirable in all respects (1-0).

We had to wait until halfway through the first act to see the first opportunity, a shot on target from Dumazert, well saved by Dia (23rd). The visiting team's response was immediate with a shot from Secleppe going over (24th).

A free kick to break the deadlock

The situation was broken following a free kick taken by Y. Belhadj and pushed back by Dia. Défossé, lying in wait, opportunely sent the ball into the back of the net (1-0, 33rd). Stung to the quick, the Fosséens toughened up their game, forcing the referee to rightly take action before the break (41st).

At the restart, the visitors were the most active. Time passed and the tension rose. Fos-sur-Mer pushes, Aigues-Mortes pushes back as with this save by Fontanelli on Ribeiro (58th) and this save by Laurent on a shot from a tight angle by the same Ribeiro (59th).

Fangier's save

The Fosséens set the pace, the Saliniers resist courageously. Dengerma (80th) and Mané (82nd) ​​are on the verge of doubling the lead and Fangier, himself, prevents the equalizer by saving on his line in added time (90th + 2). It's over, Fos-sur-Mer will not come back.

Solidarity and respect for instructions

“This victory does us good. I appreciated the solidarity shown by the group. I am also satisfied with the respect for instructions and the tactical organization put in place, proof that work always ends up paying off”, analyzed coach Yohan Borg. Aigues-Mortes will spend the holidays in a non-relegation position.
