AS Guéreins-Genouilleux-Montceaux continues its historic epic! Little Thumb of 6e tour of the French Cup across the entire Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the departmental division 2 club achieved the feat of eliminating Olympique Lyon Sud (Regional 2) at the end of a successful performance, this Sunday afternoon (2-1).
In front of 1,200 spectators, the two teams created several clear chances before the break, but without managing to score. Despite the three divisions of difference, Guéreins did better than compete with short restarts and interesting offensive combinations. A playing philosophy rewarded by the opening score after returning from the locker room. Launched in depth, Simon Leuk took the time to adjust the goalkeeper (1-0, 50th). A short-lived advantage since the Rhone equalized in the following minute with Sandro Marcon's header (1-1.51st). But Benjamin Kuhnel's players moved forward and snatched qualification on a penalty from Alexandre Beaurain (2-1, 78th).
Two representatives from Ain at 7e tour
At the end of this weekend, Guéreins joins Marboz at 7e round of the Coupe de France, which will be marked by the entry into contention of Ligue 2 teams.
In a duel between two Regional 3 teams, the Marboziens defeated Seynod on Saturday evening thanks to goals from Michel and Genton (2-0).
Draw on Wednesday and prize of 6,000 euros for those qualified
The draw for the 7th and 8th rounds of the Coupe de France will take place this Wednesday, October 30 at 10:45 a.m. at the headquarters of the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) in Paris. The 7th round will take place on the weekend of November 16.
Note that qualification for this 7th round is synonymous with allocation for each club. Guéreins and Marboz will receive 6,000 euros after their victories this weekend. However, this is less than what a qualifier received last year at the same stage of the competition (7,500).
