Of the five regional clubs competing this weekend in this first national round of the Coupe de France, there are only three left. This Saturday, Istres (N2) won easily at home (4-0) against Cannet-Rocheville. He was joined in the 8th round by Carnoux (R1), winner on the lawn of Lempdes (R2) this Sunday afternoon.
The third club still in the table is FC Martigues, which is opposed, in Grenoble, to FC Allobroges Asafia (R2) at the end of this 7th round (the kick-off was given at 5 p.m.).
Two Provençal clubs have already fallen this weekend, and both were surprised in the same city, Valencia. Yesterday afternoon, Marignane-Gignac-Côte Bleue (N2) was defeated (1-0) by FC Valence (R3). This afternoon, still at the Georges-Pompidou stadium, it was Arles (R1) who lost to Olympique Valence (R1) by the smallest of margins (1-0), a few days after the start of his trainer, Mathias Lozano.
The 8th round of the Coupe de France is scheduled for Saturday November 30 and Sunday December 1. Istres will face Grenoble (L2) while Carnoux will host the Hauts Lyonnais team (N3). In the event of qualification, Martigues would travel to the MGCB's winner, FC Valence.
