Amateur football – Coupe de France: FC Marmande wins against SU Agen in the fourth round

the essential
This Saturday, September 28, the Marmandais took the upper hand over the Agenais.

FC Marmande therefore qualified for the 5th round of the Coupe de .
Not because the Agenais were below their opponents or bad, far from it. In fact, we witnessed a very good Cup match and the derby kept its promise of a committed, physical, athletic match as possible without it degenerating into fistfights.

A good match but not a good match either, between Marmandais playing very directly towards the three offensive players and Agenais good ball handlers, capable of bringing danger into Baba Tchagouni’s area but ultimately harmless in the last gesture , the last pass or the last shot. The SUA even made the FCM doubt in the first period, enough for Nicolas Florès’ men to slow down and retreat. But as we heard from the mouths of certain Suavistes on the lawn: “F…, it goes quickly! »

And that is the strength of this FC Marmande: having kept it under control and finally having pressed the accelerator in the second half, well served, unfortunately, by the error of judgment, in the exit of Bendaho, which brings the first goal signed Rabord (1-0, 56th). The goalkeeper made feverish and the smooth hinge made fragile by the exit of Chaminade, conceded a second goal just as quickly (2-0, 65th), failing to take one or two more in stride.

KO on the spot, the SUA cannot come back while the FCM qualifies thanks to the athletic and technical talents of its attackers. Everything is said: Marmande will see the 5th round while Sporting returns home with everyone’s regrets and the tears of the unfortunate Bendaho…

The reactions

Mostafa Amellal, SUA sports coordinator: “I think we had a good first half where the debates were balanced. In the second half, Marmande took over the physical impact and created many more chances. This is a logical result. »

Mohamed El-Hassnaoui (SU Agen coach): “FCM played direct play, their n°9 [Ewelike] is very athletic and goes very fast. I knew it was good in front but not to this extent. Now, we only saw direct play but no good play. We missed El Bagraoui and Zaarouri to give us depth. »

Jordan Mbilla (SUA striker): “They had a greater desire than us in terms of physical commitment, which is essential in a cup match. Unfortunately, we did not manage to find the fault or succeed in putting our football in place. »

Nicolas Florès (FC Marmande coach): “It’s the match we were waiting for: in the first half, we decided to leave the ball to the opponent, to take less initiative and to see. In the second half we saw that there were spaces so we played the game. It was a smile…”

Lyazid Bahlali (co-president of FC Marmande): “This evening I will remember everything: qualification, because it is an objective of the club. But by the way against a very good team from Agen. We gradually gained momentum and, in the second half, there was no discussion possible: our team took the upper hand. It’s a deserved qualification. »

Joshua Rabord (FC Marmande attacking midfielder): “We measured our opponents in the first half. In the second half, we came back to finish the job and we did it well. »
