Among the bottom team, Tarbes played a masterful match to easily win (4-0). A victory which consolidates the Tarbais’ place in high class.
Deprived of their usual captain, who was ill, the Tarbais did not experience having lost their dynamic of 2025 for their first outing of the year. And yet, the long trip to Gironde had a trap match for Ugo Tarbès, transformed into captain for a day, and his teammates.
After the observation period during which the Bigourdans had to get back into the rhythm of the competition after two weeks without a match, they gave their opponent no chance, weak enough to put them in danger. Even though the Girondins will have the first opportunity of the match on a counter-attack. On a recovery ball, the locals let their game speak in transition and project themselves. Behind a cross from the left, Lecaille inherits the ball at the penalty spot but completely misses his shot and finds Hernandez on his way (10th).
A reminder is necessary for the TPF which found itself, in the process, in working order and little by little suffocating its opponent with large phases of possession. The first will give birth to a header, too crossed, from Barreau, who will not find the target on a cross from Sankoutcha (13th). These are the opportunities of this legion, Garie (19th), Sankoutcha (25th), we will have to attend the half hour of the game for the Tarbais to finally be rewarded and show pragmatism.
Faced with an apathetic team overwhelmed by the technique of Marc Fachan’s men, the solution will come from Guira. The environment of the field is wide and has the ball on the surface, hooks the garden and adjusts it before the port and a good shift from Garie and Sambu Djeme (28th). A first achievement which immediately seduces the second.
Scorer in the victory against Pau, Pointecouteau will do it again to allow the TPF to widen the gap. After a good overflow from Sambu in the right lane, Sankoutcha launches in through Garie. The winger crosses for a bar at the penalty spot, the attacker gets confused and the ball lands at the feet of an opportunistic Pointecouteau who sends the ball to the back of the net (33rd).
Tarbes creates suspense in two minutes
But it is a summary of the first with the dominant moments of the meeting and the faces of the Bigourdans, which proves difficult and difficult for the opposing attacks and the percussions of Lecaille at the back of the track. Like a copy and paste of the first act, and well helped by Tarbais a little behind, the Legeots-Ferretcapiens will dominate after returning from the locker room. A sterile forcing, well satisfied by a more than solid defense from Ugo Tarbès and his teammates. Once the roundback is finished, the Bigourdans will strike twice to extinguish all the hopes of the Girondins.
In this exercise, the first to draw will be Peh Ngosso. Freshly returned, the Tarbes striker will score on his first ball of the match. On a poorly struck free kick from the locals, Guira launches the counter-attack and serves his attacker. In percussion and after an inside hook, Peh Ngosso adjusted the garden by finding the small opposite net (66th).
The mass was said, Pointecouteau, with a half-volley recovery, goes for his double (67th) and increases the score to thunder more magnitude to the victory of a TPF which will apply itself to keep the clean sheet in the last minutes. An offensive festival, no goals conceded, a comfortable leadership position: today, it’s difficult to say that the Tarbais can still go unnoticed.
