Carcasson put on a masterclass at home to crush Olympique Marcou 33-7 on Thursday evening. The result confirmed what many had expected from a side that had been dismantling opponents all season. Marcou, meanwhile, looked thoroughly outclassed from the first whistle.
Carcasson arrived in fine form after their 28-5 demolition of Rouen just seven days prior. They had also seen off Bressan 36-12 and Albi 32-14 in previous outings. Marcou's recent record told a different story entirely, with losses to Orleans 26-20 and Surnen 23-14 casting a shadow over their campaign.
The visitors turned it on straight away, and the scoreboard reflected their dominance early and often. Marcou were left exposed on the flanks, and Carcasson made no mistake when opportunities arose. The old head settled them down when Marcou tried to respond, but the gap only widened.
Statistics from the match showed Carcasson were dominant in the air from set plays, while Marcou struggled to find any rhythm in midfield. Possession favored the visitors, and the shot count told a similar story — many chances created, few wasted.
What this result means is clear: Carcasson extend their unbeaten run to eight matches and move further clear in the National table. Marcou, meanwhile, are running out of games to salvage their season. The scoreline says it all.
