Top 14: "it's not fair", regrets the coach of Perpignan, beaten by Castres
Effective Castres defense
At half-time of the match, the right pillar of Castres Wilfrid Hounkpatin showed his dissatisfaction and promised a fight against the forwards of the USAP.
This is done since the visitors have shown themselves to be conquering and powerful.
In front of them, a Perpignan team not to its advantage which, despite all the energy put into this part, could not win.
Flops
The melee of Perpignan in difficulty
The day and the night.
Yet well in place in the first act, the Perpignan forwards held the match at the right end.
But the return of the locker room was fatal for the Catalan pack.
Penalized several times (3 times), the scrum in Perpignan could not contain the pressure put by Castres Olympique.
As a result, the Tarnese are back in the direction of travel to make their opponents doubt.
The match was played on details that benefited Castres.
The forward of Patricio Fernandez is expensive
A fatal mistake for the rest of the season?
It is in any case with great regret that Perpignan ends this meeting.
At the end of a long streak, Patricio Fernandez misplaces the ball on the 40m of the opposing goal.
Hands on the head or on the hips, the Catalans knew it was the last hope to try to win.
Unfortunately, it is a fourth defeat in seven home games that hurts the heads of Perpignan.
The disrespectful Catalan public
Throughout the meeting, on each of his attempts (penalties or conversions), the opener of Castres Olympique Benjamín Urdapilleta wiped the whistles of the public present in Aimé-Giral.
A lack of respect for the striker that was of no use ... for nothing since it was Castres who won at the final whistle.
A great response on the ground which makes 2021 a point of honor.
