Snow drifts over the pitch, turning the match into a battle of grit as Les Panthères de la Mer fire off the first score just two minutes in.
Right after the opening whistle, Panthères’ first try swings the momentum. A quick burst from the backline sees a player cross the line; the subsequent conversion, taken from the line, lands cleanly, putting Les Panthères ahead 5–0.
Aigles’ defense stiffens; a discipline error earns a yellow card at the fourth minute, but the team mounts a counter‑attack that culminates in a try at the eighth minute. A conversion attempt fails, leveling the score at 5‑5.
At the tenth minute, Panthères add another try, this time with a decisive break and an unbroken run to the posts. Their conversion caps the effort, extending the lead to 12‑5. Aigles’ players are relentless, exchanging substitutions and stirring the ball back into the front half.
By the twenty‑second minute, Aigles seize a third try, powered by a powerful scrum‑half drive. A failed conversion keeps Aigles at 15‑12, and they hold the tie through the break, finishing the first half with a narrow 15‑12 edge.
Second half opens with Panthères still in the vanguard, finding the top of the line again at the 42nd minute. A conversion attempt is timed poorly; the ball misses, keeping the score 15‑15. Aigles respond with a yellow card at the 54th minute, but substitutes bring fresh energy to the midfield.
Aigles' hard work pays off at the 64th minute, when a line‑break leads to another try. The subsequent conversion is missed; Aigles stay at 15 while Panthères back on top at 19.
Final whistle sees Les Panthères de la Mer triumph 19–15 over Les Aigles de Feu. Scoreline: Panthers 19 – Aigles 15. Aigles accumulate three yellow cards; Panthers remain card‑free, sustaining discipline and contributing three tries to their victory.
