Federal 3: Montluçon wins the derby against CUC Aubière (27-21), in Clermont

The step was too high this Sunday for the CUC Aubière. And Montluçon, third at kick-off, undertook to show it by unlocking the counter of the game from the 2nd minute by Forichon, to whom the Cucistes quickly brought an answer with a penalty from Chabaud (3-3).

In the 18th minute, the match ignited in the freezing cold of the Leclanché stadium (where the match had been relocated to synthetic turf due to weather conditions) with the test of Monluçonnais Tixier, followed by the transformation of Forichon (3- 10).

Montluçon passed the second with a new try and always the same recipe: Tixier on trial and Forichon on conversion (3-20).

Couperier sounds the revolt for the CUC

The first act ended with a penalty from Bousquet for Aubière (6-20).
In the 53rd minute, Saugues allowed the OCM to score a third try, transformed once again by Forichon (9-27).

Aubière sounded the revolt in the 66th minute with Couperier, who came into play and who came to revive the suspense with his try, followed by the transformation of Defaye (16-27).

The Aubiérois continued in this direction and offered themselves a second try two minutes from the end by Montagnon but the failed transformation of Defaye deprived Aubière of a crazy end to the match.

The Montluçonnais therefore took their revenge on the Aubiérois, victorious in the first leg. The OCM is temporarily in first place pending the update of the calendars of Saint-Cernin and Guéret.
