It took a penalty from the opener Gibert at the very end of the game for Racing to win in pain on the ground of Stade Fr

There was not the same atmosphere as during the last derby at the Jean-Bouin stadium in November 2019, even if the 1,000 spectators authorized due to health measures gave their voice.

But until the end, this Stade Français - Racing 92 will have been panting, undecided.

And as eleven months ago, Racing 92 won on the wire (25-27), somewhat forgetting the defeat in the final of the European Cup a week ago against Exeter.

After this second setback at home, Stade Français can have regrets.

What you must remember

After the minute of silence in tribute to the assassinated teacher Samuel Paty, the Stade Français starts off with its feet.

A 55 m drop from Segonds allows the Parisians to lead 6-0 (9th).

The big stadist defense defeats her opponent, pushed to the fault, before she sticks out her tongue in the face of a cheered Racing.

An overflow of indiscipline weighs down the start of the Stade Français.

The Ciel et Blanc also take the lead at the break (6-11), in particular thanks to an inspiration from Machenaud who sends, on the closed side, Laborde to the test (33rd).

But the words of the Quesada-Travers-Arias trio at half-time immediately have an impact, like this powerful test from Latu, transformed by Segonds (13-11, 44th).

The latter continues to stand out thereafter.

But the sky and white captain Chavancy, who has not stopped encouraging his troops, shows the example with a converted try (25-21, 72nd).

Before Gibert got Racing out of a bad dream with a final penalty on the gong (25-27, 80th + 3).

The player: Joris Segonds

For his first derby, the 23-year-old Parisian opener, at the club since 2009, marked the spirits: five penalties including one of 55 m, and the others at 40 m and a drop that could have offered the victory to the Parisians.

The number: 6

Racing's number of victories at the Jean-Bouin stadium since 2009 and the presence of the two clubs in the Top 14. It is tied with its neighbor in twelve matches and won for the second time in a row, after 2019.
