Tours FC logically qualifies against Quimper

Tours : 1
Quimper: 0

It's done, Tours will see the sixth round of the Coupe de France against Bourges Foot. But this first federal round was complicated. Even if the Tourangelles showed serenity in the game, they lacked accuracy in the sequences, spoiled by recurring clumsiness.

The two teams went blow for blow

There was some technical waste but the desire was there. Getting off to a good start from the start, the Sky and Black were quick to show up. Yog Atouth, with a good shot, forced Minichy, the Quimper goalkeeper, to make a save (1^re). And four minutes later, Letissier saw his shot blocked (5^e).

Quimper was quick to respond with a good cross from Charles, overflowing, well adjusted in the penalty area but which was not taken back (9^e). The game was stabilizing and we had to wait to see a real goal situation.

Vallée crossed full axis for Desbois, who saw his header returned by the crossbar of Minichy (33^e). The two teams went blow for blow and, in turn, Quimper proved dangerous.

Domination of the Tourangelles

Gaudriaud accelerated, crossed for Hacle in a center-forward position but was overtaken at the last minute by the defense (34^e). The locals finished this first act well with a free kick from Vallée which the goalkeeper took out masterfully (45^e + 1).

A logical draw. When the game resumed, Tours got off to a strong start with two big chances. In the same action at close range, Desbois and Yog Atouth were defeated by Minichy. Extraordinarily calm, she repelled both attempts (57^e).

It was on a set piece that the fate of the match would be decided. On a corner, from the left corner, François delivered a magnificent ball which Latour, with his head, transformed into a goal and victory (1-0, 65^e). Just reward given the domination of the Tourangelles!

A well-deserved qualification

Quimper, with courage and self-sacrifice, returned to the game. An incursion into the home side's 16 meters was narrowly blocked by the defense (75^e).

Three free kicks could also hurt the locals, the first was well saved by Boue, the Touraine goalkeeper. The second went slightly over the goal and the third and last was off target (80^e87^e90^e + 1). The Tourangelles held their well-deserved qualification, the essential was done.
