Football – Regional 1: AFBB admits a narrow defeat, but ensures the maintenance

The impressive unbeaten run of AF Biars Bretenoux came to an end this Saturday night. After eleven games without defeat and twenty-five points taken from thirty-three possible in their Regional 1 championship, Biarnais was deprived this Saturday night of four players (three suspended players and one injured player) lost at home to L Union Saint-Jean by one goal to nil .
As expected, this match against a team from L’Union Saint-Jean that is fighting to remain in Region 1 and was three points behind the first non-relegation battle before this meeting, was closed. Unlike the first leg (which ended in a 3-2 victory for Lotois at the end of a match full of twists and turns, a match that had launched Lotois’ good streak), this meeting this Saturday evening counts for the twentieth day of the championship, didn’t give many chances.
The first forty-five minutes of the meeting had set the tone. The two teams, well in place defensively, did not allow the opponent to endanger the opponent’s goal, and it is very logical that the break was reached with this score zero and zero.
The second period featured an identical look between two formations trying to stop the opposing offensive attempts. In this match that could have gone one way or the other, it was finally a quarter of an hour from the end that the visitors found the back of the net for this match’s only goal. After a good run, the ball was caught in the area by a Haut Garonnais player who tricked the Lotois keeper. In the last minutes of the match, the AF Biars Bretenoux players tried to come back to score, but the visitors managed to maintain the goal lead until the end.
This narrow defeat does not prevent Biarnais from being sure of remaining in Region 1 after Lavaur’s draw against Tarbes (0 to 0). With seven points ahead of the first relegation two days after the end, the AFBB team can no longer unite in the position and will play in the regional elite next season.
