The bad period continues for Red Star. Despite a renewed defensive solidity after 15 goals conceded in 7 matches, the Seine-Saint-Denis club lost (1-0) this Friday at the end of the match in Annecy on the eighth matchday. After a good start to the championship (2 wins in 3 games), the Audoniens are clearly setting the pace with just one point out of fifteen collected in the last five games. Even though the Green-and-Whites maintain 14th place in the general classification despite remaining 3 steps ahead of the red zone (Troyes, 17th), the respite comes at the right time for a team that has had too many negative results for a period of months.
For this trip to Haute-Savoie with the 7th, coach Grégory Poirier relied on a compact defensive block, leaving his captain Loïc Kouagba on the bench. In a closed game, you have to wait until the end of the first act to see a first situation from Larose (45th). Upon returning from the locker rooms the match became more daring. Both teams had the opportunity to open the scoring, but it was Annecy who made the difference from a set piece. From Demoncy’s corner, Soukouna gets the better of the Audonian defenders and opens the scoring a few minutes from the end (1-0, 83rd). Cruel. “I feel a feeling of disappointment and a lot of regret for the result and the efforts made by my team,” says Gregory Poirier. We faced a team with great momentum (3 wins and 3 draws). It was a lot of adversity but we were consistent in terms of content. We are fragile on set pieces. The injury to our number one, Benali, hurts. Bad luck hasn’t spared us since the start of the season. »
