Stade français head coach Laurent Labit did not hide his frustration: “We started well, before taking this 90-meter counterattack. Even with 14 men, we had possession almost the entire match, making only 7 fouls against 12. We were once again not effective with the ball and I found the red card very severe, which changed the match . We knew we would have a very difficult match, but we crumbled a bit by letting a lot of energy go and missing two important penalties. We made lots of small mistakes which allowed ASM to score, but we are disappointed because we are not used to losing. We weren’t rewarded for the work the players did and we didn’t know how to keep them under pressure. We have to correct this for the rest of the season but we remain proud of what we have done this evening and over the past 22 days.”
