This goal will not allow them to lessen their disappointment. But for the beauty of the gesture, it will delight all football fans. This Saturday, the players of Quevilly-Rouen conceded a second defeat in a row against Metz (1-2). A defeat which is not too unfortunate for Normans firmly established in the soft underbelly of Ligue 2 (8th).
A defeat also marked by an exceptional action by Mamadou Camara. Entering the game in the 81st minute instead of Garland Gbellé, the 22-year-old scored a goal that will be remembered for a long time. It all starts with a recovery 70m from the Metz goals. After eliminating Sakaly and Jean-Jacques, the former Troyes striker continues his counter-attack. He resists the return of Jean-Jacques and dribble Udol. Arrived on the right side just outside the Messina area, Camara escapes Fali’s tackle and tries an improbable shot at the end of the race. Surprised, Oukidja is lobbed for a phenomenal score reduction.
We then play the 90th minute of play and the defeat of Olivier Echouafni’s players cannot be avoided. This is the second goal this season for Mamadou Camara after the one scored against Caen on October 1st. Arrived this season from Troyes where he had made three appearances in Ligue 1, Camara played 24 games with the Normans.
