Monnaie joins Tours FC in the 8th round and will host Lorient

Fief Gesté (D2): 1
Currency (R1): 3

100% for the clubs of Indre-et-Loire! Two clubs from the department were involved in the 7^e Coupe de France round and both responded. In an R1 duel, in Inzinzac-Lochrist, in Brittany, Tours FC first won painfully against US Montagnarde on Saturday.

After quickly conceding the opening score by Sankou Souaré (1-0, 5^e), the Ciel et Noir equalized thanks to a header from Noah Randazzo (1-1, 42^e). And at the end of the penalty shootout, and two saves from Raïs Amrani, Bryan Bergougnoux's players joined the 8^e tour.

Monnaie continues its historic journey

The Modenians were perhaps inspired by it on the lawn of Fief Gesté, a D2 team, this Sunday. They were also accompanied by their loyal supporters in Maine-et-Loire with numerous banners including a very long one along the railing: “Together do it for us”.

And they did it in a very good way against a club accustomed to surprises this year after having eliminated three clubs from R3 and one from R1. But Monnaie is not one of them and even won 3-1.

Hermann Carvalho quickly opened the scoring for US Monnaie by cutting in a good cross from the right of the field (0-1, 13^e). Then on a corner from the scorer, Clément Perraguin headed Evan Besnier who deceived the goalkeeper with a lobbed header (0-2, 38^e).

Hermann Carvalho in all the good moves

Carvalho gave himself a second assist from a corner with a header from Clément Perraguin to add to the score (0-3, 76^e). The Angevins reduced the score but too late to worry the Tourangeaux (1-3, 79^e).

“You are writing a magnificent story!” »said another banner in tribute to the valiant Modenese. And this will continue with a historic display against a Ligue 2 team, Lorient, while Tours FC will host OC Cesson (N3) on November 30 or 1^is December.
