The violets believed it up to 10 minutes from the end. But from the 75th minute, there was only one team on the ground. After being led 1-0 and after having led 2-1, Saint-Sernin du Bois let the victory go.The two goals scored by Victor Monthieu Pougueleu closely (85) and Riyan Majdi on a free kick after a fault on the very stirring Elie Kayembé at 20 meters (90) were only the realization of a constant domination of the Doubistes at the end of the game.
Just before, Sabri Abich had highlighted by leaving two bullets in the skylight and stopping Adriano Delphis’ shot at the first post. The 3-3 ball returned to Rafael Finy after a strike from Erkan Sahin rejected by goalkeeper Marc Popow. But the double goalkeeper did not allow himself to be surprised (90+2).
And yet, from the start, the Violets had taken the match on their own with a head by Erkan Sahin and a shot from Théo Monin and the huge opportunity of Jocelyn Matrat alone against Marc Popow. The Sochaliens react by obtaining two consecutive corners. The resumption of Joshua Frau is saved on the line by Karl Moscato and the Sanchez stone head on the line still by Hugo Tavan.
Visitors create spaces and Elie Kayembé of the 20 meters place the ball out of the reach of Sabri Abich with a pure strike (26). Biscat Mbala untenable on the left wing sends a missile on the transverse of Sabri Abich and Théo Monin does the same by forcing Marc Popow to divert his strike on the bar. It is on a penalty granted by Mr. El Idrissi whose very good part should be emphasized that the violets will equalize just before half-time after a fault on Rafael PRIFY in the surface. Mohamed Bouazzaoui takes Marc Popow against foot for an equalization a hundred times deserved (44).
From the resumption, the goal scored by Jocelyn Matrat on Corner is refused for offside. Big bronca around the handrail! This is only a postponement because the violets will take the advantage over a goal that will be called a cap. From the left wing, Rafael Finy sends a tense center that Karl Moscato can not resume and who surprises Marc Popow (58). 2-1 for the players of Philippe Correia, but the Doubists more in legs and the winning coaching of Sylvain Monsoreau at the end of the game will make the difference.
Disappointment was understandable in Violets and their supporters. But this time again, we will have seen a real cup match with twists and turns, all played in a very good spirit.

Fabrice Correia, US Saint-Sernin-du-Bois coach : “What a pity! We had more opportunities than the opponent. The boys gave everything, but the last quarter of an hour was difficult and was fatal to us. We must recover before receiving Chalon ACF. Maintaining is ensured for us and we are more concerned with that of team B. ”
Sylvain Monsoreau, Sochaux Montbéliard coach : “The opponent had eliminated AJ Auxerre and Besançon in the previous round. We knew what to expect in a context of a real cup match with the public against us. It was indeed very complicated, the coaching at the end of the match was beneficial to us.
