IThey fell. The invincible Bordelais end their series of victories in the Magnus League with honors at seven matches. Boxers who bowed to the reigning French champion from Rouen after a huge performance. The Girondins had to draw on the depths of their talent, their well-oiled collective game and their physical resources. A fight ultimately lost.
The Dragons have long looked for the loophole to overcome Bordelais very quickly in the direction of march, even leading by two goals after eight minutes of play: “I feel both pride and disappointment, admits Olivier Dimet, the Boxers coach. The players put up a big battle even though we only had three lines available. We have just spent three nights on the bus over the last four days and I saw my players compete with this big team from Rouen who treated us with respect. Tonight, I am proud of my players who gave everything with content in our game and a maximum state of mind. »
Dantesque week
For this third match in four days, after the disillusionment on Wednesday in the Coupe de France in Chambéry (6-3) and the spectacular redemption on the ice of Marseille on Friday (1-5), the Boxers completed their Herculean labors of the week by the reception of the Norman leader. If fatigue is present at the start of this match, the Bordelais do honor to their ice rink, sold out, by starting with their feet on the floor.
Confident, sure of their strengths, the Boxers showed realism against the incisive Normans from the start of the match. Poudrier, for his return from injury, quickly resolved the situation after barely six minutes of play, taking full advantage of a power play. And the Boxers’ festival continues with the break achieved by Bruche almost two minutes later. Boss-sized Bordelais who display their new stature against the reigning French champion. Their mastery lasts throughout the first period. But the Dragons’ undermining work weighed on Olivier Dimet’s men, who gave in for the first time after 25 minutes before suffering the equalizer sixteen seconds from the gong after several minutes of checking the VAR.
This goal does not shake Bordeaux and the certainties acquired by this team. What follows is a merciless mano a mano between two teams sprinkling their game with a frantic pace. A high-level battle which tilted in favor of the Rouennais during the last attempt of the penalty shootout.
