Women's French Cup / 4th round (regional finals). Jacou suffered in the first period, eliminated by Nîmes Métropole.

The courageous Jacoumardes (R1) never managed to gain the upper hand over the favorite and dominant Nîmoises (D3) (4-1).
The first period was marked by Nîmes domination. Through strong pressure, they recover numerous balls and create chances, but Jacou holds on (3rd, 6th). The Héraultaises are fighting, without managing to gain the upper hand, the division gap is felt.
And following a defensive error from the visitors, Fofana found herself alone in front of the goals and opened the scoring (1-0, 15th). And the Nîmes do not intend to stop there, after another defensive error, Benchao scores following an indirect free kick in the area (2-0, 20th).
Two mistakes in a row that are costly for visitors who continue to believe in them. Jacou, however, seems overwhelmed, a new lack of understanding benefits the Nîmes, with Kaboré scoring alone in front of the cage (3-0, 31st).

More intensity in second

Jacou tries to get off to a good start after the break by putting in a little more intensity. On a counter, Germe, after getting ahead of the defense, could have reduced the score, but his shot flew away (49th). The Jacoumardes seem more enterprising and play with more desire: like a defensive return to courage on the hour mark.
On the other hand, the Nîmes are calm and continue to be dangerous (69th, 72nd).
They were rewarded with a final goal from De Azevedo from a corner at the end of the match (4-0, 79th). The Jacoumardes, who gave everything, did not manage to secure qualification but still saved the honor with a goal from Doyen (4-1, 85th).
