Blagnac emerges victorious after an intense match, toppling Stade Niçois for the first time at Ernest-Argelès this season!
The score, 18-17 for the home side (3 tries to 2), reflects a balanced match between two valiant teams. The game was decided in the final minutes (75th) when Blagnac managed to overturn the result by scoring a try (from 13-17 to 18-17).
The Niçois, who had opened the scoring in the early minutes, played much of the match with 14 players due to the expulsion of their forward Astier, guilty of an illegal tackle, and for 10 minutes with just thirteen players when hooker Fuchs was penalized with a yellow card.
The performance of the Niçois was valiant but insufficient to secure their first victory in a season that is shaping up to be challenging compared to their stated ambitions.
