Difficult winner of Vitré a week earlier, the reserve team of Stade Malherbe Caen lost 1-0 at Poissy on Saturday, November 6, 2021. The Parisians scored the only goal of the match on a penalty at the end of the first half. half time. Caen suffered the double penalty since Lamine Sy received a red card on the action (38 ′). “It’s unfortunate because we ourselves give the ball in the box to the opponent,” laments Fabrice Vandeputte.
Hugo Vandermersch replayed
Caen can harbor some regrets. For the first time this season, its workforce was greatly reinforced by the professional team. No less than eight pros started at kick-off. However, many of them lacked rhythm, like Benjamin Jeannot, Franklin Wadja and especially Hugo Vandermersch. The latter was making a comeback after six months of absence following a rupture of the cruciate ligament.
I remember his injury very well since it was I who coached the pro team on April 30. I was happy to see him again. We found him as we left him. He did a good 45 minutes, without apprehension.
What a pleasure to have been able to regain some playing time in a match tonight with the reserve team😁🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/RMnTd5ivjU

Two opportunities to open the score
The Caennais had the opportunities to open the scoring in the first half. The frame first escaped Benjamin Jeannot on a center, then Robin Legendre on goal on the opposing goalkeeper after being thrown by the same Jeannot. After the unfavorable corn and the red card, “we did everything to come back”, underlines Fabrice Vandeputte. Caen made us forget the numerical difference before Poissy took a red in turn for having stopped Zeidane Inoussa as the last defender (65 ′).
It was good in the game, very good in the state of mind, but we were not effective. We did more than resist. It’s a game that is played on not much.
“We know what we are playing”
Hugo Vandermersch played a half, Franklin Wadja an hour. Benjamin Jeannot meanwhile played all of the debates. The reserve has fulfilled its role of “stimulator”. However, this defeat constitutes a bad accounting operation. The Caennais are the first non-relegation with four points ahead of the red zone. “We know what we’re playing: so as not to be in the last three. “
CAEN: Péan – Sy, Molchan, Ngouabi, Vandermersch – Inoussa, Hervieu, Wadja, Najim – Jeannot, Legendre.
