Alexis Boitte (BEL) AWARDED WITH EFPM DIPLOMA OF RECOGNITION

The image of provincial football is regularly tarnished, where violence, verbal and physical, is almost trivialised, where mentalities are changing, their meeting was marked by a magnificent gesture of fair play, which deserves to be highlighted. Mons Nord won against La Buissiere by playing a large part of second half without a real goalkeeper, but animated by a wonderful feeling of gratitude towards their opponent. Jody Decorte went down with a calf injury shortly after break, letting the ball slip to the feet of La Buissiere striker Alexis Boitte, who preferred to kick out to allow the Montois staff to look after their goalkeeper, even though the goal was empty. No one in the La Buissiere camp encouraged Alexis Boitte to push the ball into the net and score what yould have been the equalizer. “I did not hesitate for a second,” said the striker. “I have respect for everyone, including the opponent.”
