EHF Cup First Leg Group Stage last qualifying round

Csurgoi - USAM Gard

Streaming will start at the last minute. Stream starting soon …

Stressful wait.

I can see a lot of empty seats in a small sports complex

Our away kit is a flashy mixture of yellow and green

Referees are from Montenegro

Very small field of play.

HAZAI vs VENDEG = HOME VS AWAY




1st half

Good defense by USAM but still conceding the first goal

Good save by opposing keeper Rok ZAPONSEK wearing shirt no. 32 on 2mins

Acquevillo unorthodoxically makes it 1-1 on 3min

Sanad missed an easy chance on the wing almost immediately after

2nd save by the opposite keeper

Padolius annihilates one shot but no one is there to get the rebound so the opposite number 3 scores

Then Acquevillo runs and his shot on the opposing low corner. His second on five minutes being played

Penalty conceded on 7 mins. Scoreline is 3-2

Acquevilo gets a third one with his arm slightly bent 3-3

Desbonnet saves a low shot on 8 minutes

On the counter attack Sanad gets two goals on the wing, the score now on 10 min 3-5

Good defense again with passive play

Miss by Acquevillo too casual on 11 min

Remi missed his long throw 12’

6 mins without goal for the locals

2 mins for 22 Padolius 13’

Just getting into the right space 4-5

Empty goal strategy 4-6 goal by Quentin Dupuy from USAM

Same number of players and it is 5-6 on 15 mins

LUCKY ESCAPE as Quentin got hold of the ball in the middle in extremis

Not using Guigou when opposition is one man down

3rd for Sanad 5-7 on the front post

Quick ball to Sanad by Remi and it is now number four for Sanad

6-8 on 17’44

Save from opposing keeper on almost carbon copy…

Excellent strike by their 95 7-8  19’26

Huge extension and low on the left post by Acquevillo. His fourth as well

But their 21 Potochunuk scores a beautiful one on the top corner 8-9 2045. Goal cancelled as time out was given. This is the only explanation as to why the score line only reads 7 for the locals.

Magnificient shoot top corner and this time number 8 is accepted on 22 minutes

Guigou’s goal should have stood…

Penalty scored by their number 3 so now 9-9 so time out 23’

Not very good in attack suddenly and Csurgoi on the ascendancy

However, we can hear the USAM supporters

Costly steps by Padolius on a counter after a save by Remi Desbonnet

6 minutes without a goal now for USAM

Block in defense motivated again ?

Benji Gallego on his own., His first 9-10 26 min

Kovacevic makes it 10-11 from the wing 27

On the counter 10-13

Fifth for Sanad

2 for Prandi in the space of 2 minutes

Raucous USAM supporters albeit only five or seven of them !

On the wing Kovacevic again makes it 11-13

48 vs 76% scoring and yet only two up on the scoreboard.

And the cherry coke got on the bed as I wanted to upload some pictures.



2nd half

Luc Tobie 24 bent arm 11-14 on the restart

Inattention by Remi and he picks the ball into the net 12-14 32’

Wrong block so chance to get back to 1 and Quentin Dupuy gets 2 min as well as their 45 scores a clever goal 13-14

On the counter 14-14 in the empty net 34’

Big save by new keeper no. 29 PALLAG

Better defense by the red locals

Nyateu is too slow

Really bad start in 2nd half

Important save Remi but then number 45 in the middle of a pale defence scores 36’ 15-14

Understandably a time out is called.

Two minutes for Csurgoi number 3 and penalty converted 15-15

But, the huge number 95 makes it 16.15 on 38’ whilst they are playing one player short

Sanad gets his 7th on the wing 16-16 38’

The 45 again acrobatically makes it 17-16 39’

Superb triple INCREDIBLE save by their keeper on 40’

Easy in the middle Tobie on 41’ makes it 17-17

Not a foul to my liking. Should have been our ball and a lack of concentration leads to Nagy scoring and Padolius gets his 2nd two minutes.

As a result, it is 18-17 on 42’                                                                                                                                       

Penalty with the opposing number 8 also getting 2 minutes; however, the missed penalty by Sanad as it was too cheeky and very costly 43’

Now losing by 2, dangerous territory.

Great KUNG-FU on 44 minutes to make it 19-18

Passive defense from USAM thus 20-18

Poor attack follows

Why Quentin Dupuy gets two mins???? on 47 minutes. He was a tad too sarcastic maybe

Why a red card??? He must have said something.

Too many suspensions are sapping USAM’s strategy but by the same token they are not playing very well and this is worrying. 5 sanctions of two minutes against 3 for the locals.

Important goal in the counter attack after offensive foul 20-19

Then easy shot 21-19 on 48 minutes. I am not happy with the display and Csurgoi are growing in confidence.

USAM gets the ball back and to Pallag disappointment there is huge goal in the middle by Prandi 21-20 with just eleven minutes left on the clock.

Another ridiculous goal conceded 22-20 on 50 minutes

A bit of false hope as score becomes 22-21 then Sanad on the wing front post leads to a score of 22-22.

Another easy goal in the middle by Csurgoi ‘s number 95 when Remi did not fight. It is now minute 51.

Then follows a big miss on the square so still a score line of c23-22

Paul gets the nod with 8 minutes left

Costly miss by Prandi as the Hungarian line player easily dispatches a low one, making it 24-22 on 53 minutes.

Combination from Prandi to the line player makes it 24-23.

Their number 21 scores an easy one and again 2 ahead 25-23 with 5 mins left

We thought it would be simpler and it is USAM’s own downfall I must admit.

As evidenced by a damaging 3-goal deficit when the clock agonisingly reads 26’22 in the second half.

The one-man advantage is not a goal but is there any hope on 26’36 when it is 26-24

It becomes 27-24 as Csurgoi number 4 saves acrobatically and again it should be our ball.

On 28 minutes, losing by four now at the worst possible moment.

Gallego falls with opposing number 45 receiving a red card with one min left so they are playing with 5 players and yet nobody shoots early 28-25

Nightmare in the 2nd half

Where are your watches referees from Montenegro? Time should have been stopped …. Gain at least of 7 seconds. Big miss empty net due to the lost 7 seconds.


TERRIBLE RESULT !!!!! Not great to see.

It is going to be tough next Saturday. We must bounce back and well.
