Perpignan vs Pau head to head

USA Perpignan secured a convincing 40-24 victory against Section Paloise at Stade Aime Giral. Alivereti Duguivalu opened the scoring with an early try, quickly followed by a conversion from Benjamin Urdapilleta. Paloise responded with a try from Julian Montoya, converted by Axel Desperes, but Perpignan continued to dominate with multiple tries, including two from Jefferson Joseph. Urdapilleta's kicking was exceptional, adding several penalties and conversions to extend the lead. Despite a late resurgence from Paloise, which included a try from Beka Gorgadze, it was not enough to overcome Perpignan's solid performance. The match showcased Urdapilleta's playmaking skills and Perpignan's attacking prowess. This win marked a significant turnaround for Perpignan after recent defeats to the same opponent.
